Image hose | 479

It is recommended that you consider how you will control each rank before you build a nozzle. The way you

lay out the images can limit the ways you can control the indexing. Before you begin building a nozzle, you

must decide which rank level you need as well as how many elements you want in each progression. For

more information, see “To change the indexing rule” on page 476.

Preparing images

Regardless of the rank level of the nozzle you are making or the method you use to build it, the following

tips will help you develop the individual images.

Each element in an Image hose nozzle must be selected. The selection allows you to paint with images of

irregular shape. Only what is inside the selection will flow from the Image hose.

You might want to work by creating a silhouette of the image shape as a selection, and then fill in the

color information later. With soft edges to the selection, you can create images that are anti-aliased

automatically. This improves the continuity across an area of hosed images.

You can create Image hose nozzles from layers. As you create image elements, turn them into layers. If the

layer looks good when dropped on different backgrounds, the image will look good as a nozzle element.

Building a nozzle from layers offers advantages in convenience as well.

Another technique is to float the image on a black background and add a drop shadow. This will enhance

the appearance of three dimensions, as image elements build up in layers. When all elements have

the shadow in the same position, the light source appears the same across the painted area. For more

information, see “Layers” on page 513.

Creating a 1-Rank nozzle

To create a 1-Rank nozzle, first you create the images that you want to include in the nozzle. Each image

must be created on a separate layer. You can then select and group the individual layers and save the

nozzle file in the RIFF format. To use the new 1-Rank nozzle, you load it in the nozzle library. For more

information, see “Loading and managing nozzle files” on page 485.

In a 1-Rank nozzle, the images do not need to be in one line. Corel Painter wraps images onto several lines

to create a document of reasonable shape. Corel Painter follows a mathematical rule in reconstructing the

rank of images. This rule is contained in the nozzle definition. For more information, see “To build a 2-Rank

nozzle” on page 482.
