can save time by pressing its speed-dial button. Similarly, a script lets you set the actions that you want to

repeat; then, the next time you need to repeat those actions, you can save time by playing the script.

You can record anything in a script — from a single edit command to an entire work session.

There are a number of ways to take advantage of scripting:

• You can record a script to replace repetitive tasks.

• You can use background scripts to back up your work, which gives you the ability to revert to any stage

in the project by playing the script and stopping it at the stage you want. This technique is similar to

using multiple levels of undo. For more information, see “Enabling and playing background scripts” on

page 847.

• You can play back a script at a different resolution. You can record at a low resolution, then

automatically produce the same results at a higher resolution. For information, see “Creating resolution-

independent scripts” on page 848.

• You can record a script that plays back using the current art materials. For example, you can record

a script of a pencil drawing, then open a new document, choose a different paper texture, color,

and brush, and play back the script. Then, you can watch Corel Painter repeat your drawing with the

selected art materials. For more information, see “Recording and playing scripts” on page 845.

• (Windows only) You can record a script to use as a tutorial so you can show someone the step-by-step

process used to create an image. It’s like looking over the artist’s shoulder. You can then convert the

script to an .avi movie to share techniques with others. Every action you take becomes a frame in the

movie. For more information, “Converting scripts to movies” on page 850.

• (Windows only) You can use scripts with movies. When you have an operation that you want to apply

to each frame in a movie, record the set of commands in a script. You can then apply the script to the

entire movie as one command. For more information, see “Applying scripts to movies” on page 833.

Displaying the Scripts panel

The Scripts panel supplies the basic tools for recording, playing, and editing scripts. It also gives you access

to the Scripts library viewer, which is used for storing and managing the scripts and script libraries that you

create.
