Customizing Painter X - New Custom Palette

New Custom Palette
Corel Painter is making it easier and easier for us to organize our workspace efficiently. One of the best ways is to create your own Custom Palette! Custom Palettes give you the freedom to work in your own style by selecting the tools you need for your project.

In this exercise you will focus on making a custom palette of useful menu command shortcuts. Let's get started!

To create a custom palette:

Begin by dragging an icon or button out of its palette or out of the Brush Selector bar. Start with one brush variant, and then add others as you feel more comfortable with the process. Select brushes that you will be using for your new project, or brushes that are your favorites.

As you drag the brushes to the interface you will notice that you now have created a new custom palette that you can go on to customize by adding additional brushes and commands.
