314 Corel Painter X3 Getting Started Guide

To create a brush dab shape

1 On a white background, draw a shape in black.

Use shades of gray to define the transparent areas of the dab.

To follow stroke direction, a captured brush set must face toward the right side.

2 Choose the Rectangular Selection tool from the toolbox.

3 Drag across your brush shape to create a square selection.

Corel Painter uses the selected area to set the brush size. When the brush is created,

the selected area is sampled to compute each brush dab.

If the original area requires scaling to the size of the brush dab, sampling can

appear aliased. The greater the scaling, the more aliasing is apparent. To prevent

too much aliasing from appearing, create a shape with soft (grayscale) edges that is

close to the size you’ll be using.

4 Click the Brush Selector on the Brush Selector bar.

5 In the Brush library panel, choose the brush category in which you want to save the

variant for the captured dab shape.

6 Click Brush library options button , and choose Capture Dab.

7 If necessary, choose Window  Brush Control Panels  Size, and change the

settings.

8 Draw with the brush on the canvas.

If you like the results you’ve captured, you can save the brush as a new variant. For

information about how to save customized brushes for later use, see “Saving and

deleting brush variants” on page 304.

You can paint with a captured brush just as you would with other brushes.
