Corel Painter Help | Filling an area with a sampled image

Filling an area with a sampled image

You can apply a transformed sample by filling, instead of using a brush. Filling allows you to cover a large area evenly, without much effort. Filling is supported only when you use perspective or bilinear sampling, with or without tiling.

To apply a transformed sample as a fill, you need to set both sample source and destination reference points, as you would when applying a sample with a brush. For information, see Multi-point cloning.

If you want to save the sample source reference area as a pattern for future use, you can capture the pattern. For more information, see Creating and editing patterns.

To fill with a transformed source image

1 In the Brush Selector, choose the Painter 2015 brushes library from the Brush library list box.

2 Click the Cloners brush category, and click a brush variant that allows you to select four sample source and four destination points:

• XPerspective 4P

• XPerspective Tiling 4P

• XBilinear 4P

3 In the Clone Color panel (Window

Brush Controls Panels

Brush Media

Clone Color), enable the Clone Color check box.

4 Do one of the following:

• If you chose the XPerspective 4P or XPerspective Tiling 4P variant, choose Perspective from the Clone Type list box.

• If you chose the XBilinear 4P variant, choose Bilinear from the Clone Type list box.

5 Hold down Option (macOS) or Alt (Windows), and click to set the four sample source reference points.

6 Hold down Option + Shift (macOS) or Alt + Shift (Windows), and click to set the four destination reference points.

7 Click the Paint Bucket tool

in the toolbox.

8 Choose Source Image from the Fill list box on the property bar.

9 Click in the destination area to apply the fill.

You can disable offset sampling by clicking the Clone Color button

in the Color panel or by choosing a non-Cloner brush variant in the Brush Selector.

The destination points determine where the transformation occurs.

You can use transformed clone information to make a brick pattern become a steep wall.
