Creating a 1-Rank nozzle

To create a 1-Rank nozzle, first you create the images that you want to include in the nozzle. Each image must be created on a separate layer. You can then select and group the individual layers and save the nozzle file in the RIFF format. To use the new 1-Rank nozzle, you load it in the nozzle library. For more information, see Loading and managing nozzle files.

In a 1-Rank nozzle, the images do not need to be in one line. Corel Painter wraps images onto several lines to create a document of reasonable shape. Corel Painter follows a mathematical rule in reconstructing the rank of images. This rule is contained in the nozzle definition. For more information, see To build a 2-Rank nozzle.

Nozzles are most useful when they deliver similar images with some irregularity — for example, butterflies on flowers.
