You can also convert shapes to selections and vice versa. The tools for adjusting shapes
allow precise control over the outline path, so you may want to use shapes to create
some of your selection paths. For more information, see “Converting selections to
shapes” on page 769.
When you save a file that contains a shape in the RIFF format, Corel Painter maintains
shapes as vector objects on separate layers. In other formats, shapes merge with the
canvas. In the Photoshop (PSD) format, shapes are converted to bitmaps and are
assigned to appropriate layers.
Drawing shapes
You can draw shapes by using the Rectangular Shape or Oval Shape tools.
As you create shapes, Corel Painter gives them default attributes for stroke and fill.
However, you can change the default settings for shapes. For more information, see
“Setting preferences for drawing shapes” on page 757.
