Creating brush dabs

You can create your own brush dab shapes by creating a shape, selecting it, and then capturing it as a dab.

*

Corel Painter uses the area you selected in step 3 to set the brush size. When the brush is created, the selected area is sampled to compute each brush dab.

If the original area requires scaling to the size of the brush dab, sampling can appear aliased. The greater the scaling, the more aliasing is apparent. To prevent too much aliasing from appearing, create a shape with soft (grayscale) edges that is close to the size you’ll be using.

capture brush dab

You can paint with a captured brush just as you would with other brushes.
