Creating and copying channels
You can create a channel from a selection, create a blank channel, or create a new channel by copying
an existing channel. The channels are saved with the image and remain part of the file. Channels remain
inactive (for canvas control) until you load them as selections in the image. For more information, see “To
load a selection from an alpha channel” on page 592.
Corel Painter lets you create up to 32 alpha channels. The channels are listed in the Channels panel and are
available for selecting, displaying, and modifying.
The Channels panel displays all of the alpha
channels that are stored in the current document.
