Burn
The Burn dynamic plug-in applies a
burn effect to the edges of the selected
layer or area. You can adjust the
amount and character of the burn
with sliders.
Different burn settings produce diverse results.
To burn a layer or selection:
1 Select the layer or area of the
Canvas you want to burn.
If you select an area, Corel Painter
automatically creates a new layer
when you apply the burn.
2 On the Layers palette, click the
Dynamic Plug-ins button and
choose Burn.
3 In the Burn Options dialog box,
drag the sliders and set the controls
to adjust the burn effect.
• Burn Margin describes the
width of the burn effect in rela-
tion to the layer’s size.
• Flame Breadth describes the
width of the scorched region.
The burn color appears in the
scorch.
• Flame Strength describes how
much of the layer is consumed
by the burn. Increasing Flame
Strength shrinks the layer.

burn amount for different sides
of the layer.
