The Image Hose336
If the slider is set to 90%, Corel Painter
mixes 10% of the secondary color to
90% of the image. This is a handy way
to adjust the shading of image
elements.
For information on selecting a
secondary color, refer to
“Understanding Primary and
Secondary Colors” on page 79.
You can turn down the Grain to mix in the
secondary color. Top=100% grain,
bottom=39% grain.
Controlling the Image
Hose
The Image Hose has three
components of control: The Image
Hose brush, the nozzle controls, and
the nozzle file.
• You’ll adjust the brush to
determine the placement of images
in the stroke.
• You’ll use the Nozzle controls on
the property bar to change the
scale and to set the rules for
indexing.
• You’ll create your own nozzle files
to determine the image content
and ranking.
Controlling the Image Hose
Brush
Nozzle controls for the Image Hose
primarily affect where the images
appear in the stroke, such as whether
the images are scattered or closely
spaced.
To modify the Image Hose
settings
1 Choose Window menu > Brush
Creator, and click the Stroke
Designer tab.
2 Choose any of the controls in the
left pane, and adjust the settings in
the right pane.
Spacing Images
You control the space between images
with the Spacing settings in the Brush
Creator. Moving the Spacing slider to
the right increases the spacing
between image elements.
The Spacing slider controls the spacing of the
images. Top=85%, bottom=20%.
