Subtitles of the Movie

Like many applications Painter, gives you options to save and export files into other applications. To save something while your working, I highly suggest that every 10, 15 minutes you press command or control S on your keyboard to save your work in progress. I know for a fact several people who have worked on files for hours forgetting to save even one time and then have the computer crash on them. Of course that artwork is gone and they then go into a mental hospital for a couple of weeks. So try to avoid that disaster by pressing command or control S on your keyboard every 10, 15 minutes. If you want you can also go to file and choose save as or choose the iterative save. Which will save as we mentioned in another movie with numbers at the end of it. For example dragon01, dragon02, dragon03 and so on. For now I'm gonna choose save as and I can save this anywhere I want to. I can save it on my desktop, I can save it on external disk, I can name it what I want to, I can choose the file format and we discuss file formats in another movie. Then I would choose to save that file. I'm gonna go ahead and cancel that. What I'm gonna do at this point is I'm gonna grab my pen tool and I'm going to click and drag out a shape. I am going to then export into Adobe Illustrator and demonstrate to you how cool it is to be able to still edit these points in another vector application. So now that I have this star drawn I can then go to file, then I can choose export here, and then when I slid my mouse over, I see that I have the option to go to Adobe Illustrator, so I'll choose that. On my desktop I'll just call this star shape and then I'm gonna click save right here. I don't really get any options after that. It just saves into the Adobe Illustrators file format, now before I got to illustrator I want to show that if I click on this star here I can manipulate the points and we are going to do the same exact thing in Illustrator because these points are going to remain active. So let's go to illustrator then and I'm gonna go to file, open I'm gonna locate that file on my desktop, there it is. So how would I manipulate this, well make sure I have my toolbox out and their hidden there they are. I'm gonna grab my direct selection tool and there are the points that I can manipulate just as if though I were still in painter. Now from here I can color it, I can do whatever I want to, to this file. Export it again to Photoshop, or bring it back into Painter as a file that I can go ahead and paint, adds some effects to, watercolor that kind of thing. So that's how you export files from Painter and keep in mind it only works with shapes. It only works with shapes, it does not work with your layers or any special effects only paths that you draw with any of the shape tools, so please keep that in mind. This will not work with anything else but those kinds of shapes.
