Restoring the default Corel Painter settings

To restore Corel Painter to its default factory settings

When restoring the Corel Painter workspace to its default factory settings, you can keep some customizations, or you can remove all modifications that you made to the application.

The following customizations can be kept:

• All custom brushes

• All other libraries (papers, scripts, nozzles, etc.). This option lets you save all papers, flow maps, patterns, gradients, nozzles, looks, weaves, images, selections, and scripts.

• Custom palettes. Note that palette location and icon settings will be lost.

The following customizations are lost after Corel Painter is restored to its default settings:

• Palette Layout(s)

• Color Sets

• All preferences (Preferences dialog box)

• Customized keyboard shortcuts

• Brush tracking and calibration settings

• Recent brushes

• Color Management presets

• Perspective Guides, Layout, and Divine Proportion presets

You can reset all workspaces — the current one and any workspaces you created or imported, or you can reset only the current workspace.

To restore Corel Painter to its default factory settings

1 Hold down Shift, and start Corel Painter.

2 Choose one of the following options:

• Keep some customizations — lets you keep custom brushes, other customized libraries as well as custom palettes

• Restore all settings to factory defaults — removes all customizations that you made to the application including custom brushes and palettes

3 Click one of the following buttons:

• Reset All Workspaces — resets the current workspace and any other workspaces you created or imported

• Reset Current Workspace — resets only the current workspace

When you choose to restore all workspaces, all custom workspaces are deleted. Only the default workspace is preserved and restored to the factory settings.
