Nozzle Libraries
Nozzle libraries let you save and
retrieve sets of nozzle files.
For information on loading alternate
libraries, creating new libraries, and
moving items between libraries, refer
to “Libraries and Movers” on page 23.
To add a nozzle to the library:
1 In the toolbox, click the Nozzle
selector.
2 Click the selector menu arrow, and
choose Load Nozzle.
3 Locate your nozzle file in the
dialog box, and click Open.
4 If necessary, enter the values to
define the number of elements,
their size, and rank.
5 In the toolbox, click the Nozzle
selector.
6 Click the selector menu arrow, and
choose Add Nozzle to Library.
To retrieve a nozzle:
1 In the toolbox, click the Nozzle
selector.
2 Click the selector menu arrow, and
choose Check Out Nozzle.
Corel Painter opens the nozzle file
in an image window.
3 If necessary, edit the file.
4 To put it back in the library, click
the Nozzle selector menu arrow in
the toolbox and choose Add
Nozzle to Library.
Creating a Nozzle from a
Movie
Frame after frame of a Corel Painter
movie can flow from the Image Hose.
The frame size describes the “Item
Size.” If you’re creating a movie just to
turn it into a Nozzle, set the frame
size just large enough to hold your
largest image element.
You can use the selection in each
frame to control the shape of the
images.
To make a nozzle file from a
movie:
1 Open the movie you wish to turn
into a nozzle file.
2 In the toolbox, click the Nozzle
selector.
3 Click the selector menu arrow, and
choose Make Nozzle from Movie.
An untitled image file appears
containing each movie frame.
4 If you didn’t create selections in a
frame of the Frame Stack, you can
create the selections now.
Remember, each image element
must be included in the selection.
5 Save it as a RIFF file.
You can now open and use the
RIFF file like any 1-Rank nozzle
file.
Creating a 2-Rank Nozzle
from a Movie
The Make Nozzle from Movie
command automatically creates a 1-
Rank nozzle. If you want, you can use
this technique to create a 2-Rank
nozzle.
To make a 2-Rank nozzle from a
movie:
1 Arrange the image elements in sets
according to the second rank.
