Look for Cool Spring in the list and select it. Click on its Option Button and go to bush library. Now open Painter and go to the Brush Selector Bar and open the Brush Library Panel. Your path should look like this: Applications > Corel Painter 12 > Brushes > Cool Spring (that would be the library name) > Cool Spring folder with the companion jpg. Painter would think that the Brush category folder would be a library and not a brush category folder.

The path is Applications > Corel Painter 12 > Brushes and if I understand it correctly, you put the downloaded files here, right? If so, that isn’t correct. You tell me you can see the downloaded brushes under brushes in the application, which is good information, but best information would be to give me the whole path and not just pieces of it. It is very helpful when asking a question that you give me more information than less. Please ignore the way I opened Painter.īut, based on what you have said, I believe that you have loaded the brushes incorrectly, but I’m not sure. I probably should do the video over again. When I did the video, the SP1 patch was not out and I was trying to tell painter how many cores it could use. No, you do not need to open painter the way I did from the c: prompt. If you have questions, please let me know. If this changes in a later patch, I’ll change the video. So, in this video, I am showing how to load in the application area. Normally, I would suggest loading brushes in the user area, but the software will ultimately think the brush category is empty. One of the problems that is occurring has to do with a problem in the software. You will also learn about brush libraries and why you need them. I highly recommend that everyone upgade to Painter 12.1. If you are not upgrading, then this page has the information that you need. I have a new page, Brush Management for Painter 12.1 that is specific to the changes in 12.1. Now, I would recommend installing in the User Area. This video recommends installing brushes in what I refer to as the Applications Area, which we had to do for Painter 12 and Painter 12 with SP-1.


Painter 12.1 has changed the way brush management works significantly. I have decided to post that here to help folks with brush installation. I have a video for the subject in my class Painter 12, a New Beginning. I have received a number of requests from different places to help folks with brush installation in Painter 12.
