An MXS file may also be a color mixer pad created by Corel Painter, a digital painting application. It contains the paint colors that a user mixes on the Mixer Pad with the brush. MXS files are used by digital artists to remember specific color mixes and revert to a previous Mixer Pad state.
More Information
The Mixer is a Corel Painter feature that allows users to blend colors and create paint swatches. As a user creates a set of blended colors or swatches, they can save their Mixer Pad as an MXS file, to quickly access that Mixer Pad again in the future.
How do I save a Corel Painter Mixer Pad?
To save a Mixer Pad as an MXS file, access Corel Painter's Mixer panel (typically docked in the program's Palette Drawer) and select the sandwich menu icon. Then, choose Save Mixer Pad... .
NOTE: MXS files differ from Mixer Swatches ( .MWS ) files, which store the preset colors tiled at the top of the Mixer window.
