278 Corel Painter User Guide
If you have enabled the Switch to Cloner Brushes check box in the Preferences
dialog box, the last Cloner brush you used is automatically selected.
You can customize the Quick Clone effect. You can choose whether to delete
the image from the clone or to turn on Tracing Paper. You can also select the
last-used Cloner brush or choose to clone color with any brush variant. For
more information, see “Setting Quick Clone Preferences” on page 33.
Using Cloner Brushes
Painting with a cloner brush is similar to painting with any Corel Painter tool, except
that cloner brush variants take their color information from a clone source instead of
from the Colors palette. Some cloner brush variants reproduce a source image directly.
Other cloner brush variants reproduce a source image with low opacity and soft edges,
or use paper grain and specialized dabs, for particular media effects.
Painting in the Clone
When you paint with a cloner brush, it picks up color from the clone source while you
control the size and direction of brush strokes. Painting with a cloner brush is a great
way to obtain Natural-Media renderings from photographic source material.
The Oil Brush Cloner is just one of many interesting cloner brush variants.
You can create new cloner brushes or refine existing cloner brush variants by using the
Brush Creator. For more information about customizing brushes, refer to
“Customizing Brushes” on page 197.
