The Basics 35
Magnifier Increment
The Magnifier Increment preference lets you specify the percentage of magnification at
which the magnifier will increase or decrease.
Units
The Units preference lets you choose the unit of measurement used by the
application’s various sliders and other measurement options.
Cloning Preference
When you clone an image, Corel Painter uses the color information from the original
as you fill in your clone. If you would like Corel Painter to display what part of the
original you’re cloning, check the box next to Indicate Clone Source with Crosshairs
While Cloning.
Draw Zoomed-out Views Using Area-Averaging
When you are viewing an image at under 100% magnification, screen draw is faster
when Draw Zoomed-out Views Using Area-Averaging is enabled, and slower — but
more accurate — when this check box is not enabled.
Display Warning When Drawing Outside Selection
Checking this box enables the warning that appears when you draw outside a
selection.
Show Commit Dialog When Converting to a Layer
Enable this check box if you have enabled the Commit and Don’t Ask Again check box
in the Commit dialog box and want to reinstate the dialog box.
Brush Tracking Preferences
When you draw with traditional media, the amount of pressure you use with a tool
determines how dense and how wide your strokes are. Using a pressure-sensitive stylus
with Corel Painter gives you this same kind of control. Each artist has a different
strength or pressure level in a stroke. The Brush Tracking preference lets you adjust
Corel Painter to match your stroke strength. This is particularly useful for artists with
a light touch. If a light stroke leaves no color on the canvas, you should use Brush
Tracking to increase sensitivity.
