Shapes 769
You cannot paint on a shape using Wa terc ol or brushes or Liquid Ink
brushes, because they automatically create their own special layers.
In some cases, Corel Painter will prompt you to convert a shape. For example,
if you attempt to apply an effect to a shape, Corel Painter asks if you want to
commit the shape to an image layer.
You can also convert a shape to an image layers by choosing Shapes
Convert To Layer.
Converting selections to shapes
You can convert a selection to a shape to edit its contour. When you are satisfied with
the contour, you can convert the shape outline back to a selection. For more
information, see “To convert a shape to a selection” on page 424.
If you are scaling, rotating, or skewing a selection path, use the Selection Adjuster
tool. If you must edit the profile of the curve, convert the selection to a shape.
Working from a selection path also lets you create shapes based on regions of the image.
For example, if you used the Magic Wand tool to select a region of common color, you
could convert the Magic Wand selection path to a shape. When the selection is pixel-
based, Corel Painter may create multiple shapes.
You can convert a selection to a shape.
To convert a selection to a shape
1 Choose a selection tool from the toolbox and create a selection in the image.
2 Choose Select Convert To Shape.
Corel Painter converts the selection to a shape, giving it the default shape
attributes. The new shape appears in the Layers panel.
