Still buggy 6.1 patch!
Timothy Lim
whatsoever. While working on something yesterday, I noticed a strange icon!
I was working with the pen shapes tool, and I was switching between
layers to correct the shapes. Halfway through, when I was on the work area,
I noticed the cursor had changed to a crooshair with a small circle next to
it! I checked my brush selection and it was on the eraser. I changed brushes
and still the crosshair was there. Clicking on the work area, the crosshair
worked like a bezier tool, where you click one point and a line is drawn
till you click at another point. No lines are drawn anyway and the brush
selected works, just with this strange bezier tool crosshair!
The original cursor (the little black triangle) is gone leaving this
crosshair!
Anyone have this strange cursor? It was a hassle to work around with and
I had to reinstall 6.03 so I could work properly!
And why in the 6.1 readme, it still mentions "no serial number needed for
beta patch"? Did Corel fix-up the original beta and left it there as a final
for download? I thought (like the 6.03) it will say it's the complete patch!
Sorry Corel, but it's still buggy! Please do something to it, otherwise
no one will be so eager for the Painter7 upgrade that you guys will be
putting out! If a patch can give so much prob. then what about an upgrade??
awaiting a stable patch

If the crosshair is accompanied by a red or green dot, you're looking at
the cursors used when setting clone-source and clone-destination points
for cloning. Try some cloning using these and see what happens. Also
try changing the cursor indicator setting (p.218) back and forth in
Preferences. If it doesn't clear up despite reinstalling, etc., I'd
suspect my video card drivers.
Note that the shortcut keys listed in pp.217-218 of the Painter 6 manual
are reversed. The proper keys are...
Shift-click -- sets cloning source with green dot.
Control-Shift-click: -- sets destination with red dot.

rap
brush icons was when my Pre Built Brush File became
huge (75 - 100 MB). I learned to delete it often; especially after
lots of hi res brush work.

The cursor you're seeing sounds like the one we see when holding down
the Shift key and using the Rectangular/Oval Selection tools, Lasso tool
or Magic Wand tool to add to an existing Selection.. for what that may
be worth.

cursor either. It doesn't have the dots that specify the cloning area. I
believe it could be the selection tool, but I've checked everything and my
selection tool isn't selected.
When this funny cursor is present,and I select the brush icon to start
painting, the cursor still remains.
I don't know, maybe it effects me only, but it's a hinderence especially
when I need to do detailed erasing. Besides, I'm alright with the 6.03
version, so I guess I'll hang out till Corel fixes the problems and comes
out with something else.

the Performance Tab, then click the Graphics button. Set the slider back a
notch. Okay out and see if you still have the problem. This should disable
mouse acceleration with your video card.
If the problem goes away, it's video driver related, if not, then ::shrug::
(caps lock key down?)

Dear Painter Expert, I am in trouble. I have Painter version 4.03. I
recently bought a Epson Stylus Color740. I am not able to print any Painter
files. The printer prints everything else. When I try to print a Painter
file Iget an error message, "Errors Printing File". I have reinstalled,
reinstalled the System 8,5 on my PPC Perfroma 6320CD. Can you help me as the
ownership of Painter has changed since I purchased it?
