Corel Painter Help | Adjusting light properties

Distance — controls how far the light is from the image. If you move the light source closer, you can compensate for the increased light by adjusting the Exposure slider.

•

Elevation — sets the light’s angle in relation to the canvas. At 90°, the light is shining straight down, and at 1°, it’s nearly horizontal.

•

Spread — sets the angle of the light cone

To change the light color, click the Color chip, and choose a color.

In the Ambient Lighting area, move any of the following sliders:

•

Exposure — controls the image’s brightness, as in photography. Moving the slider to the left decreases exposure and darkens the image; moving it to the right increases exposure and lightens the image.

•

Ambient — controls the surrounding light in an image. If you have no light indicators in the preview window, the ambient lighting controls the overall lightness of the image. Moving the slider to the left darkens the overall lighting; moving it to the right increases the light.

To change the color of the ambient light, click the Color chip, and choose a color.
