Getting started with selections
You can use selections to isolate an area of the canvas to apply effects or transformations, while protecting
the unselected areas from the changes.
Selection types
Corel Painter supports two types of selections: path-based and pixel-based. The method that you use to
create a selection determines its type.
• Path-based selections are defined by a closed path, for example a circle or a square. You can make
path-based selections by using the Rectangular Selection, Oval Selection, Lasso tool, or by converting
a shape. Path-based selections support many transformations that pixel-based selections do not. In
addition, it’s the only type of selection that you can store in the Selection Portfolio.
• Pixel-based selections are defined at the pixel level. You can create a pixel-based selection by using the
Magic Wand tool. Corel Painter also includes options for auto-generating selections based on various
image or clone characteristics.
You can covert a pixel-based selection to a path-based selection. For more information, see “To convert a
pixel-based selection to a path-based selection” on page 583.
Selection methods
The following table describes the various methods for using selections.
