Posterizing an image
Corel Painter offers two different options for posterizing images. You can use the Posterize effect to reduce
the number of color levels contained in an image.
You can also posterize an image by specifying a color set. This effect lets you replace image colors
with those of a specified colors set. This is useful for multimedia work, as well as applications such as
silkscreening. You can use this effect to reduce the number of colors in an image.

1 To apply the effect to:
• The canvas — Click the Canvas in the Layers panel.

The fewer levels you specify, the more dramatic the effect.

274.
