Working with colors and materials
Whether you are applying color to an image or adjusting
photographic colors, it’s important to understand how
Corel PaintShop Pro works with color. This section describes how to
choose colors and materials that you can use in your images for
painting, drawing, and filling.
This section presents the following topics:
• Using the Materials palette
• Choosing colors by using the Color Picker
• Choosing colors from an image or the desktop
For more information about working with colors and materials,
including using gradients, pattern, and textures, see “Working with
colors and materials” in the Help.
Using the Materials palette
Corel PaintShop Pro lets you paint, draw, and fill with a variety of styles
and materials.
• A style is a color, gradient, or pattern.
• A material is the style plus an optional texture.
Both styles and materials can be selected from the Materials palette.
You can display the Materials palette at any time. You can leave it open
while you work, or you can display it only when you need it.
