Tear
The Tear dynamic plug-in applies a
torn paper effect to the edge of a
selected layer or area.
You can tear a little or a lot.
To tear a layer or selection:

Canvas you want to tear.
If you select an area, Corel Painter
automatically creates a new layer
when you apply the tear.
2 On the Layers palette, click the
Dynamic Plug-ins button and
choose Tear.
3 In the Tear Options dialog box,
drag the sliders and set the controls
to adjust the tear effect.
• Margin describes the width of
the tear effect from the edge of
the layer.
• Strength describes how much
of the layer is torn away.
• Jaggedness describes the
amount of irregularity in torn
edges.
• Tear Color shows the color
used at the edge of the tear. You
can change the color if you like.
Click the color chip and use the
color picker to select a color.
• Tear Interior Edges lets you
tear interior edges as well. Dis-
able this option to protect inte-
rior edges.
• Reset restores the default set-
tings.

default based on the current
settings.
• Preview enables (checked) and
disables (unchecked) Corel
Painter from displaying your
changes to the image.
