stylus, allowing for a truly realistic
brush stroke. For example, as you tilt
your stylus, specks of media land on
the paper in a way that reflects that
tilt. Corel Painter airbrushes create
conic-sections that mirror your stylus
movements. Corel Painter airbrushes
take advantage of the Intuos airbrush
stylus wheel control. Like the needle
control on a real airbrush, the Intuos
wheel control adjusts airbrush flow, or
how much medium is applied. For
more information about using the
new airbrushes, refer to “Painting
with Airbrushes” on page 114.
Using Multiple Intuos Pens
All Intuos pens—both standard and
airbrush—feature ToolID™, which
allows you to configure and work with
multiple pens during a Corel Painter
session.
For example, let’s assume you have
two Intuos pens: Pen 1 and Pen 2. Pen
1 is set to an Oil brush variant; Pen 2
is set to an Artists variant.
Every time you bring Pen 1 into the
tablet’s proximity, Corel Painter
automatically changes the active
brush to the Oil brush. Every time
you bring Pen 2 into the tablet’s
proximity, Corel Painter switches to
the Artists brush. If you’ve adjusted
the tool assigned to a pen’s size or
other settings, Corel Painter
remembers those changes for the next
time you use that pen.
