Corel Painter 2015 – Update 1 Readme

Painter 2015 Update 1 will update the initial release of Painter 2015 (14.0.0.728) to 14.1.0.1105. The following items have been addressed.

• You can now click directly on a layer mask to select it (you no longer have to click the layer, and then click the layer mask.)
• The Fill dialog box (Edit > Fill) now displays dynamically your clone source or the pattern that you have chosen.
• Improved performance of Gravity Particle Brushes: the repeating pattern that is created when you use local chaos with Gravity Particle Brushes at small document sizes is now random and far less obvious.
• Improved user experience when resizing brushes onscreen by pressing Command + Option (Mac OS) or Ctrl + Alt (Windows) and dragging, by using the Brush size (onscreen) command in a custom palette, and by using the Brush size (onscreen) tool in the toolbox in the Simple workspace layout. The Legacy-style onscreen brush sizing control has improved accuracy and more closely resembles the look and feel of the brush sizing control in earlier versions of Corel Painter.
• The Canvas now appears in the Layers panel after you switch from the Simple workspace layout to the Default one by using the Welcome screen.
• The values that you enter in the Canvas size dialog box are no longer truncated if they exceed three digits.
