Using pressure-sensitive pens and devices
Standard feature
You can configure pen tablet options quickly and easily from the Pen Settings page in the Options dialog box.
When you use a pressure-sensitive stylus or pen tablet with Corel DESIGNER, the amount of pressure that you apply controls the width
of your strokes. Each person uses a different strength or pressure level in a stroke, and you can set the application to match your stroke
strength by specifying pen settings. Proper pen settings are particularly useful if you have a light touch. If a light stroke leaves no trace,
adjusting pen settings can increase sensitivity for specific tools. Abrupt changes in the width your brushstrokes shows that you need to
adjust your pen settings.
The following tools in Corel DESIGNER let you use the pressure of your device: Pressure, Roughen, Smudge, Eraser as well as the liquid
tools.
With Premium membership, you can also take full advantage of the pressure and tilt of your RTS-compatible pen tablet or device to control
your brushstrokes. For more information, see “Support for Real-Time Stylus (RTS) pen tablets and devices” on page 154.
To customize pressure sensitivity

2 In the Global list of categories, click Pen Settings.
3 Using your stylus or digital pen, apply at least three strokes, building from the lowest to the highest pressure.
Support for Real-Time Stylus (RTS) pen tablets and devices
Premium feature
Corel DESIGNER includes support for the Real-Time Stylus (RTS) interface, which was introduced with Windows 7. You can take full
advantage of the pressure and tilt of your RTS-compatible pen tablet or device to control your brushstrokes.
If you have a Wacom-compatible graphics tablet or device, you can still use the WinTab interface for optimal results.
