Corel Painter 327
Metal raindrops fall randomly with the Rain
feature.
Liquid Metal Controls
You can adjust the following settings
to customize the appearance of the
liquid metal.
• Amount—controls the emphasis
of the metal effect (from the
Refraction slider) for all droplets in
the layer. The extreme left and
extreme right are the inverse of
each other. To create water effects,
set the Amount to –0.5. This will
make the droplets magnify the
imagery underneath them.
Reflection and Refraction invert when you
move the Amount slider to either extreme.
• Smooth—changes the perimeter
range. The perimeter range
determines the droplet’s tendency
to “join” its neighbors. The
Smooth setting applies to all
selected droplets and new droplets
you create.
Low Smooth settings keep droplets distinct
(left). Higher Smooth settings make the
droplets flow together (right).
• Size—changes the diameter of the
selected droplets. The Size setting
applies to all selected droplets and
new droplets you create with the
Brush tool or Rain. It does not
affect the Circle tool.
• Volume— adjusts visibility along
the perimeter. The Volume setting
applies to all selected droplets and
new droplets you create.
