left, the destination is the leftmost point of all selected layers. If you align horizontally
to the center, the destination is the midpoint between the leftmost edge and the
rightmost edge of the selected layers.
Next, Corel Painter aligns the corresponding edge of each selected layer’s bounding box
with the destination point. For example, if you align layers to the left, each layer is
moved so that the left edge of its bounding box lines up with the destination point. If
you align horizontally to the center, each layer is moved so that the horizontal midpoint
of its bounding box lines up with the destination point.
The left edge of the image is the leftmost point of all the layers (left). The layers
are aligned horizontally to the left so that all the layers line up with the
leftmost point (right).
To align layers
1 Select the layers or groups that you want to align.
2 Choose Effects Objects Align.
3 In the Align Shapes dialog box, enable any of the following Horizontal options:
• Left — aligns the left edges of the layers’ content
• Center — aligns the midpoints of the layers’ content horizontally
• Right — aligns the right edges of the layers’ content
• None — preserves the existing horizontal alignment
4 Enable any of the following Vertical options:
• To p — aligns the top edges of the layers’ content
• Middle — aligns the midpoints of the layers’ content vertically
• Bottom — aligns the bottom edges of the layers’ content
• None — preserves the existing vertical alignment
Locking layers
You can lock layers to avoid accidentally changing them. When a layer is locked, you
cannot select it with the Layer Adjuster tool in the document window. You can,
however, move a locked layer or shape by nudging it.
