Corel Painter 343
Loading Nozzle Files
If you’ve created a separate nozzle file
that isn’t part of a library, you can
load it into the Image Hose library for
future use.
To load a nozzle file:
1 In the toolbox, click the Nozzle
selector.
2 Click the selector menu arrow, and
choose Load Nozzle.
3 Choose a nozzle from the Select
Image dialog box, and click Open.
Note: The first time you load a
nozzle, Corel Painter may ask for
some information on the image’s
construction. “Creating Nozzles
for the Image Hose” on page 340
covers this.
To add a nozzle to the current
library:
1 In the toolbox, click the Nozzle
selector.
2 Click the selector menu arrow, and
choose Add Nozzle to Library.
3 In the Save dialog box, name the
nozzle.
You can now choose an indexing
rule and paint with your 1-Rank
nozzle.
Tip
•
If you want to create your own nozzle
libraries, refer to “Nozzle Libraries” on
page 347.
Painting with a nozzle created from layers.
A 1-Rank Nozzle doesn’t mean the
images must be in one line. Corel
Painter will wrap images onto several
lines to create a document of
reasonable shape. Corel Painter
follows a mathematical rule in
reconstructing the rank of images.
This rule is contained in the Nozzle
Definition. You’ll learn more about
this in “Building the Nozzle” on
page 344.
Nozzles are most useful when they deliver
similar images with some irregularity, for
example, butterflies on flowers.
Creating a 2-Rank Nozzle on
a Grid
Nozzles of two and three ranks cannot
be created from a layer group. You
must build these nozzles manually.
