The finished 2-Rank Nozzle—Shell Scales.
Loading a Nozzle
After you build a nozzle, you can load
it into the Image Hose.
The first time you load the nozzle file,
the Nozzle Definition dialog box
appears, where you must enter
information about the math use to
create the file—the size of each cell
and how many image elements there
are. Corel Painter needs this
information to index images correctly.
To load a nozzle:
1 In the toolbox, click the Nozzle
selector.
2 Click the selector menu arrow, and
choose Load Nozzle.
3 In the Select Image dialog box,
choose the nozzle and click Open.
4 In the Item Width and Height
boxes in the Nozzle Definition
dialog box, enter the values you set
in the nozzle file.
These values describe the cell grid
size.
5 In the Rank columns, enter the
number of image elements in each
progression.
If the values you enter do not
describe the file, Corel Painter
won’t accept them. In other words,
the “number of items” multiplied
by the “item size” must equal the
dimensions of the nozzle file.
Remember, you still need to
modify the settings on the Stroke
Designer tab in the Brush Creator
to describe the control factors for
each rank.
Note
•
For more information on setting up
the nozzle progression, refer to
“Controlling the Image Hose” on
page 336.
