Using the Image Portfolio

The Image Portfolio is a convenient place to store images you want to use again.

To display the Image Portfolio palette

• Choose Window menu > Show Image Portfolio.

If the Image Portfolio palette is not expanded, click the palette arrow.

To add an item to the Image Portfolio

1. Select a layer.
2. Do one of the following:

• To cut the layer from the current document, drag it to the Image Portfolio palette using the Layer Adjuster tool .
• To copy the layer, hold down Option (Mac OS) or Alt (Windows), and drag it to the Image Portfolio palette using the Layer Adjuster tool.

3. In the Save Image dialog box, type a name in the Save As box.

• The Image Portfolio holds only pixel-based layers. If you want to add a shape, Water Color, Liquid Ink, or dynamic layer to the Image Portfolio, you must first convert it to a default layer.

To use an image from the Image Portfolio

• Drag an item from the Image Portfolio palette to the document window.

Corel Painter places the image portfolio item in a new layer.

Using Image Portfolio Libraries

You can create your own Image Portfolio libraries to organize layers by category. When you're creating a library, keep in mind that the smaller the library, the easier it will be to see its contents at a glance.

The Image Mover command on the Image Portfolio palette menu lets you move items between Image Portfolio libraries.

For more information about moving items between libraries, refer to "Libraries and Movers".
