Corel Painter 167
The Dryout slider controls how fast the brush
runs out of medium. Top=724,
bottom=22026.
To set brush dryout:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Well.
2 Move the Dryout slider left to
shorten the distance the brush can
move before it dries out. Move it
right to lengthen the distance.
Setting Rake Controls
The Rake controls lets you control the
sophisticated features of a Rake stroke,
which maintains the angle of the
brush head as the stroke changes
direction. As the brush turns, bristles
come in and out of contact.
Contact Angle
The Contact Angle slider adjusts how
much of the brush touches the
painting surface. In other words, the
number of rake “tines” that touch the
Canvas at once.
The Contact Angle controls determine how
much of the brush contacts the painting
surface. Top=180°, middle=125°,
bottom=0°.
To set brush contact angle:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Rake.
2 Move the Contact Angle slider to
the left to create a low contact
angle—few of the dabs are in
contact with the paper. Move the
slider all the way to the right to
create a high contact angle—all of
the dabs contact the paper.
Brush Scale
Brush Scale controls the spacing
between individual bristles that
compose the Rake. The Size of each
dab is determined in the Size area of
the Stroke Designer page. For more
information, see “Setting Spacing
Controls” on page 158.
