In this video, we're going to talk about Painter 12's new Clone Source panel.…In the past, you had an entry in the File menu that allowed you to switch among…any clone sources you had, but it wasn't visual in any way whatsoever.…And so, one of the things that the Clone Source panel does, which I have right here,…and if you don't have it you can go up to the Window menu and just select Clone…Source and that panel will come up.…The thing that it does now is it shows a nice little visual representation as…a thumbnail, so that you can quickly just look and see what various clone…sources you have available.…
The other thing it does now is in the past when you had a clone source and a…clone destination, you had to be able to keep track of those files, because the…clone source document was off somewhere else.…Starting with Painter 12, it now embeds a clone source document into your…destination document or your clone.…And so, those all travel together and you no longer have to worry about where…are those image files?…

Q: When I double-click the John's Smart Brushes.brushcategory file as shown in the Chapter 8 movie "Understanding the Underpainting palette," the brushes do not install. Instead I get the message "There is no application set to open this document."
A: This is because your operating system does not recognize the .brushcategory file type. This can be circumvented by selecting the file, right-clicking, and choosing "Open With…".
If Painter 12 is not in the list, use "Other…" to locate and select Painter 12.
The file will be read by Painter and the brush category will be installed.
