Using Liquid Ink
Liquid Ink brushes in Corel Painter
create liquid paint effects that
simulate traditional ink-based media.
The Liquid Ink Layer
Liquid Ink layers are displayed on the
Layers palette. They are identified by
an ink droplet icon.
Unless you have a Liquid Ink layer
already selected, a new Liquid Ink
layer is automatically created when a
Liquid Ink brush is applied to an
image.
You can experiment with the settings
in the Liquid Ink Layer Attributes
dialog box, which let you control the
appearance of depth and adjust the
threshold of the edges of the ink.

Layers
to display the Layers
palette.

expanded, click the palette arrow.
2 Do one of the following:
• On the Layers palette, click the
palette menu arrow, and choose
New Liquid Ink Layer.
•Click the New Liquid Ink
Layer button at the bottom
of the Layers palette.

attributes:

the Liquid Ink layer you want to
modify.

dialog box, do any or all of the
following:
