Naming and adding notes to layers
As you add more layers and groups to a document, it can become difficult to remember which image data
each layer contains. By assigning descriptive names to layers and groups, you can keep track of the separate
pieces of an image. You can also assign more descriptive information to a layer by adding notes to it.
Corel Painter assigns each layer or group a default name when you create it. This name references the
object’s type and creation order. For example, pixel-based layers are titled Layer 1, Layer 2, and so on. A
shape’s title is based on the tool you use to create it — Rect for the Rectangular Shape tool, Oval for
the Oval Shape tool, and Shape for the Pen and Quick Curve tools.
To name a layer or group
1 In the Layers panel, double-click a layer or group.
2 Type a new name in the text box.
You can also rename a layer by clicking the Layer options button , choosing Layer Attributes,
and typing a name in the Name box.
You cannot rename the Canvas layer.
