Previous versions of airbrushes sprayed a thin layer of dots within an area that was always
circular, like a circle of light from a flashlight that is perpendicular to a piece of paper.
Now, airbrushes respond to angle (tilt), bearing (direction), and flow (fingerwheel setting) data from a
stylus, allowing for a truly realistic brushstroke. For example, as you tilt your stylus, specks of media land
on the paper in a way that reflects that tilt. Imagine, again, the circle of light thrown by a flashlight. The
moment the flashlight is no longer perpendicular to the paper, the shape of the cone of light changes,
creating a conic section. In the same manner, Corel Painter airbrushes create conic sections that mirror your
stylus movements.
Angle and tilt determine the shape and size of the conic section
created by Corel Painter airbrushes, which resembles a circle of
light from a flashlight that is no longer perpendicular to the paper.
Extreme-tilt angles affect large areas of the canvas. This can slow the brush down as it tries to squirt paint
too far from the stylus.
Adjusting spread
You can adjust airbrush spread, which affects how paint spreads out as it is applied. In other words, it sets
the size of area where the paint will be applied.
