Setting Mouse Controls
In theory, a mouse has no pressure
information. A mouse button is either
“on” (button down), or “off” (button
up). The Corel Painter Mouse
controls let you simulate stylus
Pressure (how hard you would be
pressing with a stylus), Tilt (how
vertical the stylus is held), Bearing
(the compass direction the stylus is
pointing), and Wheel (how much ink
is sprayed) settings.
You can record and save brush strokes
created with a stylus, then have Corel
Painter use the saved stroke’s Pressure,
Tilt, Bearing, and Wheel settings
when you make marks using a mouse.
Refer to “Recording and Playing Back
Strokes” on page 117 for more
information about using saved brush
strokes to further enhance mouse
functionality.

Setting Cloning Controls
The Cloning controls are specific to
cloning method brushes and affect
other brushes only when the Clone
Color option is enabled.
Clone Color
The Clone Color control directs a
brush to pick up color from a source
image. Clone Color takes averaged
samples of color from the clone
source, resulting in an approximation
of the original.
The Clone Color option is also
available on the Colors palette. For
more information, see “Cloning
Color” on page 80.
To set Clone Color:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Cloning.
2 Click the Clone Color check box to
enable the option. Click it again to
disable the option.
