General controls: Source


The Source setting lets you specify the media that is applied by the brush variant. Source applies only to some dab types, such as Line Airbrush, Projected, and Rendered. For more information about setting a media source, see Exploring painting media.

Corel Painter brushes use one of the following source types:

Color applies primary or secondary color.
Gradient applies the current gradient across the length of the stroke. For more information, see Applying gradients.
Gradient Repeat applies the current gradient repeatedly along the stroke. For more information, see Applying gradients.
Pattern paints with a pattern containing no mask information. For more information, see Painting with patterns.
Pattern With Mask paints with a pattern limited by the pattern’s mask. For more information, see Painting with patterns.
Pattern As Opacity paints a pattern in which the luminance of the pattern becomes the opacity of the stroke. For more information, see Painting with patterns.
