Welcome

  Welcome to the WebPainter Tutorials, Tips, and Tricks Guide. This guide is meant for beginner users who have some idea of how to use the basic features in WebPainter. It’s divided into self-paced tutorials that you can complete at any time. You can also use the quick reference material to look up shortcuts and keyboard commands.
Using this Guide
This guide is designed to be both used on-screen and printed. If you use it on screen, take advantage of the hypertext links to move between pages. All hypertext links appear in turquoise. As you move your cursor over them, the cursor turns into a pointing finger. At the bottom of every page are links that take you to the Contents, Index, Previous or Next pages. 
  Printing this Guide
If you print this guide, it’s recommended printing only a section at a time as you need to use it, because it is approximately 50 pages in length.

Completing the Tutorials
The tutorials are organized from most basic to most advanced. Each tutorial is a separate lesson and you do not need to complete them in any order. If you are a beginner user you should probably complete the tutorials in order to learn the basic skills first. You can always skip tutorials if they don’t suit your needs.

You don’t have to complete any tutorial in one sitting. You can save your work and return to it at any time.

  Tutorial Files
The tutorials are all based on existing WebPainter files that you can find in the folder WebPainter/Tutorials. Each tutorial lists the file it uses before you begin.
