  • hello again, hope you dont mind but i got another question to ask. I recently illustrated a book of mine using corel painter and just found out that most printers around here use the cmyk color mode, my corel painter seems to be only on RBG mode. could you tell me how to switch that so i can do my illustrations in CMYK mode so that for once, my illustrations can come out the way i intended them to.. thanks for all the help!

  • @kaizaee Sorry - I don't know much about color management. There is a dialogue that may help - it is at the bottom of Canvas dialogue and is called Color Management.

    It doesn't mean much to me but it may mean something to you - check it out ...

  • Hi, one question, After tracing from a quick clone, how do you get rid of the original picture? I'm still new at this and would deeply appreciate some help. Thanks!

  • @kaizaee Once you save the file as a .jpg the original picture disappears and all you are left with is the clone.

    Actually when you clone one picture into another you just close the original picture after you have finished cloning and you are left with the two combined together.

    Is that what you mean?

  • @riberg hey thanks for answering, The thing is i dont want the two images merged, for example if i were to trace over an image, i'd like to know how to remove the source image and leave only the trace behind to work on.

  • @kaizaee Took awhile to get to a computer with Painter (you have the full version, right? What I did was add a layer and did the tracing.

    Then turned off the visibility of the Background, made sure the layer was activated, Select > All > Copy.

    File > New and then paste. What you get is the tracing layer above a white background.

    Try that ...

  • @riberg Hey, I can't thank you enough for the tip, i tried it and it works! My sincerest gratititudes!

  • @kaizaee Excellent - glad I could help ...!

  • I have a good feeling spiderbatzzz has spent the last two weeks reformatting his hard drive.

  • Why would he be doing that?

    Shoulda got a Mac ...

    Rich

  • Because he's trying to download bootleg copies of Photoshop off the internet. A risky proposition at best. Shoulda saved the money on a Mac and got himself a legit copy of Photoshop with the cash he saved is what he shoulda done.

  • Hi Rich!! I just got my wacom bamboo tablet today!! Thanks for your help I was going to install it soon as I got home but it's a little to late to install it. But I'm excited I'll have to wait till tomorrow it will be like Christmas when I open it haha.

    I also I dled Photoshop cs4 for free that is comfusing I don't know how to go about it..

  • Wonderful - you will love it!

    Is it the Bamboo or the Bamboo Fun?

    I don't understand the last sentence ... what do you mean?

    Did you get CS4 for free??

    Rich

  • thank you so much

  • LOL "I can draw stick people...they are not terribly exciting"

    Love your videos man, can you do more videos on corel painter x? Since I just started using it and i would like to know more about it

    Especially a video about "brush tracking". I am looking for a setting that will give me a lot of control on opacity based on pressure but would require a light touch. Dont want to scratch my tablet yet :P

    Thank you

  • A scratched tablet is a loved tablet! It's kinda like getting wrinkles as you get older ...

    Anyway - under the Preferences there is a "Brush Tracker". Try that out.

    Also in the "Windows" menu is "Show Brush Creator". Load this one up with the brush you are using and mess about with the Opacity setting. You can do a lot with your brush right there and maybe avoid those nasty little scratches.

    Glad you like the videos. I have fun making them.

    Rich

  • Hey Rich, i was just wondering, if you somehow do get a scratch, does that mean that part of the tablet wont work or something like that?

    Thanx

  • If it is just a surface scratch then it will not cause any problems.

    I have been using different tablets for months and a couple for years and they are fine. The most delicate part of the system is the pen. You don't want it doing nose plants on a hard floor!

    Rich

  • LOL, thanx a lot man, that really helped. I hope cleaning the pen tip with a soft cloth wouldnt damage the tip? And can friction mess up the pen?

    Thank you
