Working with Paths

Incorporate designs, logos, or illustrations into your digital paintings with Paths. Rebelle lets you import an SVG file which can help you create outlines of the file easily.

Open the Paths panel from the Window menu or by using the shortcut Shift + P.

Path Library - Open the Path Library to access all your paths and pick the specific paths for your current project.

Click on the path in the Path Library to open it in the Paths panel for the current project. This will automatically add the path to the canvas.

Moving an item from the Library to the current project creates a copy, ensuring that any changes made to the copy don't affect the original item in the Library.

Import Path - Create a path from an SVG file. After selecting the file, the path is automatically created and added to the Path Library.

Add Path - Add the currently selected path from the Paths panel to the Library.

Remove Path - Remove the selected path from the Library.

Right-click in the Path Library panel to add a new group or delete the selected group of paths. Rename the group by double-clicking its name, enter the new name of the group and hit Enter. Hide the group using one left mouse button click.

In the Paths panel, right-click the path and choose to rename or remove it.

Show | Hide Paths - Show or hide all active paths on/from the canvas.

Import a new Path - Create a path from an SVG file. After selecting the file, the path is automatically created and added to the Paths panel.

Remove Path - Remove the selected path from the Paths panel.

To add a path to the canvas, select it from the Path Library or Paths panel by clicking on it.

When a path is placed on canvas a Path Menu appears at the top:

Move path - Move the path by clicking the center button and dragging it on the canvas.

Rotate path - Rotate the path by clicking the rotate button and dragging it on the canvas.

Scale path - Scale the path by clicking the scale button and dragging on the canvas.

  • Reset - Reset the position and size of the path to default.

  • Lock Aspect Ratio - Preserve the relative width and height when you resize the path.
