Patterns
With Corel Painter, you can apply patterns to an image by filling or painting. In
addition, you can customize patterns by modifying sample patterns or by creating
them from scratch.
All patterns, including both the sample and custom patterns, reside in libraries. You’ll
find more libraries, with additional materials, on the Corel Painter DVD and on the
Corel website. For more information, see “Working with libraries” on page 45.

Applying pattern fills
Corel Painter lets you apply preset pattern fills to images. A pattern is a repeating
design, and the smallest unit of a pattern is known as a “tile.” When you fill an area
with a pattern, the tile, which is rectangular, is repeated across the selected area.
You can adjust the appearance of a pattern in various ways. For example, you can change
the tile size, also known as the scale, and offset tiles in a fill. When you offset the tiles,
you adjust the horizontal or vertical position of the first pattern, relative to the top of
the object, which affects the rest of the pattern fill.
