| • | To apply the Tear dynamic plug-in |
The Tear dynamic plug-in lets you apply a torn-paper effect to the edge of a selection or layer. You can also control the amount of tearing that the effect produces.
You can tear a little (left) or a lot (right).
| To apply the Tear dynamic plug-in |
|
| 1 | Do one of the following: |
| • | In the Layers panel, choose the Canvas, and choose Select  All. |
| • | In the Layers panel, choose a layer. |
| • | Choose the Rectangular Selection tool  from the toolbox, and then drag in the document window to select an area. |
| 2 | In the Layers panel, click the Dynamic Plug-ins button  , and choose Tear. |
| 3 | In the Tear Options dialog box, set the following sliders and controls to adjust the tear effect: |
| • | Margin — specifies the width of the tear effect from the edge of the layer |
| • | Strength — specifies how much of the layer is torn away |
| • | Jaggedness — specifies the amount of irregularity in torn edges |
| If you apply the effect a selection, Corel Painter automatically creates a new layer when you apply the dynamic plug-in. |
| If you apply the effect to an existing layer, Corel Painter converts the layer to a dynamic layer. |
|
Enable the Tear interior edges check box. Disable this check box to protect interior edges.
|
|
|
Click the Color chip, and choose a color in the Color dialog box.
|
|
|
Click the Reset button.
|
You can view only the dynamic layer by hiding the canvas in the Layers panel.
You can use the Revert to Original command in the Layers panel menu to restore a source image to its original condition. For more information, see Modifying and deleting dynamic layers.
