Saving a Brush Look
A Look is a brush variant that has a paper texture, pattern, gradient, or nozzle assigned
to it. A brush variant is not itself associated with data about underlying texture or
other elements. The Look, on the other hand, is associated with additional data about a
particular variant. Regardless of a document’s current libraries, when you select a
Look, you use the elements that are part of that look. If the specific libraries are not
available, Corel Painter prompts you to locate them.
You can save a Look so that you can use it later. A saved Look keeps all variant
settings, plus the paper, pattern, gradient, or nozzle settings.
To save a Brush Look
1 Open or create an image, click the Rectangular Selection tool, and select a square
portion of the image.
The selected area will be the icon that appears in the Look Selector for your new
Look.
2 With the image selected, click the Brush tool in the toolbox.
3 Ensure that all settings for your new Look are satisfactory.
4 In the toolbox, click the Look Selector menu arrow, and choose New Look.
5 In the New Look dialog box, type a name for your new Look, and click OK.
6 Choose Select menu > None to deselect the icon image.
Your new Look appears as the last item in the Look Selector.
