Creating underpaintings
An underpainting is a version of the photo in which you adjust the photo’s colors, tones, and sharpness.
The purpose of the underpainting is to prepare it for auto-painting. For example, you can darken colors to
simulate the colors used in an 18th-century painting, or you can soften colors to simulate the colors found
in watercolor paintings.
After adjusting these elements, you must clone the underpainting to preserve it and to prepare for auto-
painting. Creating a clone allows Corel Painter to borrow colors from the photo in order to recreate it as a
painting on a blank canvas.
Choosing an underpainting method
Depending on the effect you want to achieve, you can choose one of the following methods for creating an
underpainting:
Quickly simulate the color and tone used in some popular art styles, such as watercolor paintings or
chalk drawings, by using a Color Scheme preset.
Match the color and tone of your underpainting to an existing image, such as a photo, scanned image,
or digital artwork.
Quickly lighten, darken, or shift the color or contrast of your photo by using a Photo Enhance preset.
Adjust individual settings in the Photo Enhance area, and save the settings as a custom preset.
One method you can use to prepare a photo for painting (left) is to choose a source
image (center) that contains the colors and tones you want to use. The color and tone
of the source image can be applied to your photo to create an underpainting (right).
To create an underpainting
1 Open the image that you want to auto-paint.
2
Choose Window Auto-Painting Panels Underpainting.
3 In the Underpainting panel, choose a preset from the Color Scheme list box.
4 Choose a preset from the Photo Enhance list box.
