Shapes remain vector editable until you assign Painter's natural media elements to them. Then they become floating bitmaps and are no longer editable. They can still be moved. Keeping up with the times, Painter has also added features that make it easy to put images up on the Internet. Create image maps with embedded URLs by using Painter floaters to define the bounding box.
Floaters remain as separate layers so editing the map is easy.
Graphics can be saved in a .GIF or .JPG format. Artists at different locations can team up and work on the same picture at the same time. Through the use of compact scripts, Painter will function over low bandwidth connections. The image hose, which was introduced in Painter 3.0, has been enhanced. Instead of painting with dabs of paint, the Image Hose paints with mini-images called nozzles.
