  • 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 ...

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

  • @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 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 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?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Why would he be doing that?

    Shoulda got a Mac ...
