Spraying images

You can paint with small-scale, full-color bitmaps, instead of a brush. For example, you can enhance landscapes by spraying clouds across the sky or foliage across the ground.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT includes a variety of images, which are used to create spraylists. You can load a preset spraylist, edit a preset, or create a spraylist by saving images in an image list. You can edit the source images at any time.

Corel Content provides an online collection of image lists that you can access and search. When you find an image list that you like, you can download it and use it.

For more information about accessing image lists, see Accessing content.

In this example, butterflies have been sprayed around the rose.
