lost relief information

Hi


I have a problem in painter 11

When i save on a jpg format (or anything except riff), i lost the relief information of the oil paint:

What can i do to transform this shading into a pixel information ?

it's a riff only specific feature;
you can see the impasto, but it's not editable once you save in a different format.

So Corel can't convert this feature into pixel ?

I have to make screenshots of every part of my paint and reconstruct them in photoshop, this is the only solution ?

You have to understand that Corel is using a different brush engine than Photoshop. If every feature was cross compatible there would be no reason for different painting engines to exist. It should have some base compatibility.

Maybe i express myself badly, i'm not good in english.

I know that there is not a good compatibility between the software, this not what i want. I don't want the other software to generate this kind of effect when i paint over it.

I just want to save what i see on the screen into a bitmap format, when i save i don't have the same result.

See my picture, on the left we have what we see on corel painter (i have to use a hypernsnapshot to make the screenshot, we lost the relief with a classic screenshot), on the right we have the same file but save into jpeg : this is not the same result.

I dont understand the interest of this effect if we can't convert it into a bitmap file, we just can't post their works on the net, we can't print the file by a pro.
There must be a solution.

If you want to retain the impasto depth information while working on a file over a period of time, you have to save it in Painter's native format... RIFF

Once the image is finished you can then save it as a PSD (or JPG or whatever). The impasto depth information will be rendered as pixels at that point.

I was unable to reproduce the problem you describe.

I try the impasto on another image and I found the problem.

I work on a big image (10 000* 4080), i paint at a zoom of 19% of the real size. The interpretation of the impasto effect is not the same at this distance.
But in "actual pixel zoom" i have the same result in Painter and Photoshop.

This is a problem for me, it mean that we can't use impasto effect for a big image.

Make a "clone" of the final RIF file which will "flatten" the depth as pixel information that you can then save into whatever format you desire.

Best,
Jason.
