Tip
•
If you use a variant with Auto Clone
that isn’t a Cloner variant, click Clone
Color on the Colors palette to make it
pick up color from the source document.
For more color variety in the dabs Corel
Painter applies, set the ±H, ±S, and ±V
sliders on the Color Variability palette to
15% each.
Using Auto Van Gogh
You can have Corel Painter place
directional brush strokes to produce a
Van Gogh–like rendition of cloned
imagery.
For more information about using
Auto Van Gogh, see “Auto Van Gogh”
on page 302.
Auto Van Gogh is an effect that places
directional strokes based on clone source.
Point-to-Point Cloning
Point-to-point cloning lets you clone
within a document or between
different areas of separate documents.
Point-to-point is also known as offset
cloning.
To apply point-to-point cloning
effects, you must set source and
destination reference points. Source
reference points specify the area in the
source document that you want to
clone. Destination reference points
indicate the area where you want the
cloned imagery to appear.
To indicate the area of the source
document you’re cloning, you can
turn the crosshair cursor on.
To clone point-to-point within a
document:
1 Do one of the following:
• Choose a Cloner brush from
the Brush selector bar.
• Enable the Clone Color option
on the Colors palette.
• Click the palette menu arrow
on the Colors palette, and
choose Use Clone Color.
2 Choose File menu > Clone
Source, and choose the image you
want to reference.
If no image is set as a clone source,
the brush will reference the
current pattern.
3 Hold down Option (Mac OS) or
Alt (Windows).
A crosshair cursor appears.
4 Click inside the source image to set
the source reference point.
A green marker appears on the
image to indicate the reference
point for the source imagery.
