Corel Photo-PAINT 2023 doesn't come with a third swatch for background color. This is driving me nuts! Whenever I create a new document, my border color is getting reset.
Who came up with this poor idea? Is there a way to regain a separate background color swatch?
Your background color is turned off.
Nope. Background is turned on:
… as you may see from the white background of the image in the animation.
But it's set to white.
Yes, but that's also changing the border color. In previous releases of Photo-PAINT there were three swatches: fill color, border color and background color. Now, they merged border and background color swatches, for no reason.
What version are you running? My subscription version has a foreground and background color.
Bottom icon on the left vertical too bar, it allows you to select fill and outline color. I'm running 2023 subscription.
I have the impression that you have not been reading what I'm writing.
Please refer to my previous post where I was writing about three swatches there. Three.
See this image, comparing Photo-PAINT X8 and Photo-PAINT 2023:
There you can easily see that X8 had three swatches whereas 2023 only has two of them.
Ok, on the, 2023 capture, last icon above the + symbol. Both swatches are set to red.
Yes they changed how you do it but double click it and set your color,not the icon the arrow allows you to switch fron to blackmore back to front.
