@dak –

Not sure what’s happening there, but my guess is that you didn’t create a GROUP of layers. The group is what Painter uses to create the special RIFF file containing all of your separate images in one file. I hope that helps.

Hey thanks – it is working almost perfect for me. I am testing it with leaves – my problem is that all my leaf variations seem to be treated as one object. So for each single brush stroke I get all the variations at once. Never just one leaf.

Try this:
1 – Create a new image (Go File > New, create a file big enough for your image)
2- Insert a new layer above the Canvas. (Go Layers > New Layer)
3 – With this new layer active (highlighted), paste your image. Now you have your image on a layer that you can duplicate!
4 – To duplicate the layer, right click on it, and choose Duplicate Layer.

I hope that works for you!

Bob, I so appreciate your help!!

So before I attempt this.. I want to add one more thing. My image is saved in my folder.. So when I open the image, it is on the canvas (and locked) so I am not sure how to make that into a layer. So it apparently it’s me.. This is an online course which I follow the camtasia… Oh so fun!! But apparently, I’m not getting it!!!!

So when I did try to open up a blank canvas, and try to add my image as a layer… it wouldn’t let me!! So how do I add my image onto a separate layer???

@Becca –

A group is a group of layers, not a single layer. Highlight one or more layers, then go to Layers > Group. If you want to use the same image, duplicate that layer first as many times as you need to. The Canvas layer is a special case, similar to the Background layer in Photoshop, but unlike PS, you cannot duplicate the Canvas layer! So make sure you add a layer first, put your image there, and then duplicate that layer. You can leave the Canvas blank. I hope that helps.

Hi there!

No, not at all.. and thank you… I have saved my work in a PSD and a Riff because from my experience, painter is not “accepting” a Tiff. I am having a problem with learning to copy an image.. it is a lot different from PS and much confusing if you are used to using PS… So yes, I have to dublicate it but how to group it in a layer…??

*The image itself is a bunch of horses running and to paint that again, wouldn’t look as good as the first time! I spent a lot of time doing the image for my image hose!

Any more info would be greatly appreciated!!!
