Impasto 473

For a realistic effect, try varying Depth inversely with Pressure. Set the

Expression list box to Pressure, and enable the Invert option. This lets you

apply paint more thickly when you press lightly, but more thinly when you

press firmly, just as if you were using real paint.

When adjusting Depth Jitter, make sure the Min Depth slider is not set to

100%. Setting the Min Depth to 100% stops Depth Jitter from occurring.

Adjusting Impasto lighting and depth

Corel Painter offers surface lighting controls that let you manipulate the overall depth

effect that impasto creates. The changes that you make to the surface lighting can

increase or decrease the depth, or perceived thickness, of the brushstroke. These controls

are global — they affect all the Impasto brushstrokes on all layers.

You can modify the impasto effect by increasing the appearance of depth.

Setting light position and color

You adjust surface lighting by adding, removing, or changing the position of a light

source. The lighting sphere shows all of the possible surface angles and how the lights

illuminate them. The light indicators on the sphere show the current positions of all of

the light sources. You can adjust the brightness of the sphere, so that it’s easier to see

light positions. It does not affect the lights themselves. You can also show or hide the

light indicators on the sphere.
