Changing dab profiles

The Dab Profile panel displays a selection of dab profiles that you can apply to your brushes. Each brush tip profile shows a cross-section of density distribution across the diameter of the dab. You can think of a brush tip profile as a bell-curve graph representing the density spread across the brush dab.

Different media have different density distributions. Changes in the density distribution produce different marking qualities in a brushstroke. For rendered airbrush dab types, the brush tip profile controls the concentration of the spray.

Each Corel Painter brush uses one of the following brush tip profiles.
