Corel Painter 335
The Nozzle selector in the toolbox.
The following descriptions will give
you an idea of the effect of each
variant.
Random, Sequential, Directional,
Pressure, and (Source) Luminance
refer to the indexing rule by which
images are selected from the nozzle
file. The letters R, P, and D in a
variant’s name refer to random,
pressure, and direction. For more
information, refer to “Scale” on
page 337.
Spray and Linear refer to the
placement of images in relation to the
stroke. Spray variants scatter images.
Linear variants place images directly
on the stroke path. For more
information, refer to “Controlling the
Image Hose Brush” on page 336.
You can use these variants as a starting
point and then adjust the brush and
nozzle controls to hose the images just
as you want them.
To select a nozzle and use the
Image Hose:
1 Choose the Brush tool from the
toolbox.
2 On the Brush selector bar, choose
the Image Hose from the Brush
selector.
3 Click the Variant selector and
choose a variant.
Each variant delivers the images
differently.
4 In the toolbox, click the Nozzle
Selector and choose a nozzle.
5 Make a brush stroke on the canvas.
Adjusting Opacity and Color
You can use the property bar to adjust
the opacity of nozzle images or to mix
them with a secondary color.
The Opacity slider allows you to make
nozzle images semi-transparent. If
you move the slider all the way to the
left, the images become invisible.
You can change the opacity of Image Hose
strokes. Top=100% opacity, bottom=20%
opacity.
The Grain slider allows you to mix the
secondary color with the nozzle
images. If the slider is set to 100%, the
nozzle images remain pure. As you
move the slider to the left, more of the
secondary color appears in the images.
