Cloning and Tracing196
Cloning with perspective.
To set a clone type:
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 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, choose
Cloning.
3 Choose a clone type from the
Clone Type list.
Setting Reference Points
Before you can paint with a multi-
point Cloner brush, you must set the
correct number of source and
destination reference points. Source
points can be in one document and
destination points in another, or both
sets of points can be in the same
document.
Once source and destination reference
points are set, you can start painting
with the multi-point Cloner brush.
There are times when you don’t have
to place source points. When cloning
source files and patterns, Corel
Painter places source points for you,
located in each of the corners of the
document. These corner source points
are ideal for perspective cloning with
4-point tiling. If you don’t want to use
these default source points, just move
them or set source points of your own.
For more information, see “Filling
with Transformed Cloning” on
page 201.
To set source reference points:
1 On the Brush selector bar, click the
variant selector arrow and choose a
multi-point Cloner bush variant.
Multi-point Cloner brush variants
are indicated by the number of
source and destination reference
points required for each clone type
beside the variant name. For
example, the xScale 2P variant
requires two reference points.
2 Hold down Option (Mac OS) or
Alt (Windows), and click in the
source area for each reference
point required.
3 Points appear in the source
imagery as you click, along with
identifying numbers.
Note

You can use other Cloner brush
variants by selecting a new variant and
setting a clone type. Refer to “Selecting a
Clone Type” on page 194 for more
information.
