  • Keyboard Shortcuts (Corel Painter Essentials 6)2:21

    This article contains a listing of all the keyboard shortcuts that I have been able to find to date. I used CPE6 to test them and I am mostly sure they all function as listed. However, there were a couple of 'bugs' in the main application that prevented a few of these working when in certain modes. For example, when a selection was made the opacity did not adjust using the number keys. Not a major issue, but just keep in mind what 'mode' you are in when trying a keyboard combination. I hope you find these useful.

Requirements

  • Corel Painter Essentials 4,5 or 6
  • Wacom Tablet and Pressure Sensitive Stylus
  • Desire To Create Digital Paintings
