Customizing Corel® Painter IX: Color set layouts
By Gord Roberts
Corel® Painter lets you arrange colors in a color set in various ways. You can sort by hue, luminance, and saturation; determine the size of color swatches; decide whether to have grid lines; and indicate whether the colors in the set are named. You can change a color set until it's exactly the way you want it.
To change how colors are sorted
- On the Color Sets palette, click the palette menu arrow, and choose Sort Order.
- Choose one of the following options:
- The Saved option sorts colors in the order in which they were originally entered.
- The HLS option sorts colors by hue, luminance, and saturation.
- The LHS option sorts colors by luminance, hue, and saturation.
- The SHL option sorts colors by saturation, hue, and luminance.
To adjust color swatch size
- On the Color Sets palette, click the palette menu arrow, and choose Swatch Size.
- Do one of the following:
- Choose a pixel value.
- Choose Customize.
- If you choose Customize, move the Width and Height sliders in the Customize dialog box, or type values in the Width and Height boxes.
To turn the grid on or off
- On the Color Sets palette, click the palette menu arrow, and choose Show Grid to turn the display of the grid on or off.
Turning the grid off eliminates lines between colors. You can see more colors, but the separations between colors are not as distinct as when the grid is on.
To turn color names on or off
- On the Color Sets palette, click the palette menu arrow, and choose Display Name to turn the display of color names on or off.
