Painting 155
• Mirrored Left to Right Gradient
• Double Right to Left Gradient
The Gradient Preview Window above the Order buttons illustrates how the
selected order affects the gradient. Refer to “Working with Gradients” on page 104
for more information about gradient order.
4 On the Stroke Designer page of the Brush Creator, click General.
5 From the Dab Type pop-up menu, choose a dab type that activates the Source
pop-up menu (for example, Rendered).
6 Choose one of the following from the Source pop-up menu:
• Gradient, which applies the current gradient across the width of the stroke.
• Gradient Repeat, which repeats the current gradient along the length of the
stroke.
7 Paint in the document window.
Painting with a gradient by using Gradient (left) and Gradient Repeat (right).
If the Source pop-up menu is not available (appears grayed out), the selected
brush can apply color only. In that case, select a computed brush or choose a
dab type that activates the Source pop-up menu.
Although you can choose a gradient type (Linear, Radial, Circular, or Spiral)
on the Gradients palette, you always use a Linear gradient type when painting
with a gradient.
You can also choose a gradient from the Gradient Selector in the toolbox.
Corel Painter uses the current gradient order.
