    Corel Painter 9 Paper Textures Help

    Ok heres the problem, I capture about 6 new paper textures then the ones I create after those don't show up in my paper library. I've tried capturing them again but it keeps saying that they've already been made though I can't find them in my library. I've tried making my own custom library but after about the 6th capture the same thing happens again but this time if I close Painter or change libraries everything in my custom library is lost. Can someone help me with this please? Am I missing a step here or has is Corel failing me in some unforeseen way?

    Smash,

    When you create a paper texture, it saves it to a PAP file (a Painter paper library). Once the .PAP file gets to a certain size, Painter can't read it anymore, as it's programmed to handle smaller files to make things runner quicker and smoother.

    I would suggest either making the file size of your textures smaller so the PAP file holds more of them, (with the drawback of being less detailed), or create multiple libraries of large textures that can be loaded as you need them.

    Another option would be to upgrade to Painter X, which supposedly has a larger size limit for the texture file, though I'm not sure of this limits range.

    Good luck.

    Use the Paper Mover to create new Papers libraries.

    Drag your Paper library icons onto a Custom Palette.

    Now you have several Papers libraries, each small enough to avoid bogging things down and easily loaded with a single click on an icon.

    Please do not PM me with Painter questions. Instead, post them here where everyone can benefit from them. Thanks!

    I have nowhere near the amount of money to pay for Painter X, I just got Painter IX and thats because my school was giving it out for free.
