The brush sizing shortcut lets you use keyboard
commands to adjust the brush size right in the
document window.
Min Size
In your studio, you expect the pressure
you exert on a brush or drawing tool
to make a difference in the width of
the resulting brush stroke.
The Min Size control allows you to
create a brush stroke that is amazingly
realistic. You can set up a brush that
really responds to the elegance of
subtle hand movements. As stylus
pressure eases, brush strokes taper in
response. As pressure increases, brush
strokes widen just as they would with
a real brush.
Min Size represents a percentage of
the Size setting and is the smallest
stroke size for the selected brush. Now
that Size is always the largest stroke
size and Min Size sets the smallest
stroke size (in relationship to the Size
setting), it’s easy to control overall
stroke size variation.
To set minimum stroke size:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Size.
2 Move the Min Size slider right to
make the minimum brush size
larger. Move it left to make the
minimum brush size smaller.
Size Step
The Size Step slider controls the
transition between narrow and wide
sections of a stroke. Moving the slider
to the right makes the transition
appear more abrupt. Moving it to the
left makes the transition smoother.
Size step is applicable only to dab-
based brushes.
The Size Step slider controls the transition
between the narrow and wide sections of a
stroke.Top=1%, bottom=100%.
To set stroke transition:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Size.
2 Move the Size Step slider right to
increase the transition between
brush sizes. Move it left to make
the transitions smaller.
Feature
The Feature slider determines the size
of the dabs of paint applied by a
rendered dab type brush.
Setting Spacing Controls
When a brush stroke uses a dab-based
dab type, Corel Painter creates the
stroke with a series of dabs. By
