General controls

Corel Painter provides extensive control over brush properties and dab types. You can also choose how

brushstrokes interact with existing color in the image.

To learn about the controls included in the General panel, see the following topics:

• “General controls: Dab types” (page 332)

• “General controls: Stroke types” (page 337)

• “General controls: Methods and subcategories” (page 339)

• “General controls: Source” (page 342)

• “General controls: Multicore” (page 343)

General controls: Dab types

When you choose a dab type, you’re choosing a method for applying media to the canvas. Corel Painter

uses rendered dab types that are computed during the stroke.

Earlier versions of Corel Painter used “dab-based” media application, in which brushes applied small dots

of media to create brushstrokes. With the spacing between dabs set small, strokes appear smooth. If you

zoom in enough, you can probably tell that the brushstroke is made up of tiny dabs of color. If you make a

rapid brushstroke or set large spacing between dabs, strokes can become trails of dots.

Rendered dab types create continuous, smooth-edged strokes. They’re fast and less prone to artifacts than

dab-based media application. In fact, you can’t draw fast enough to leave dabs or dots of color showing in

a stroke, because they’re just not there. Rendered dab types allow rich new features that were not possible

with dab-based media application.

The Scratchboard Tool variant of the Pen brush category illustrates the

smooth stroke that can be accomplished with the rendered dab types.

Corel Painter brushes use dab-based or rendered dab types:
