Tilt
Some brush variants, such as the Smeary Flat variant in the Oils category, react to
stylus tilt (how close to vertical the stylus is held) and bearing (the compass direction in
which the stylus is pointing).
Tilt can significantly affect brushstrokes. If you get unexpected results, especially with
bristle-type brushes or airbrushes, you can try reducing the tilt of your stylus. Extreme
tilt angles are usually undesirable. For information about adjusting tilt, see “Expression
settings” on page 317.
Pressure
Many Corel Painter brushes respond to stylus pressure (how hard you press with the
stylus). Depending on the variant settings, greater stylus pressure can increase the
width of a brushstroke, the penetration of color, or the degree of other effects. The
Corel Painter airbrushes also respond to the fingerwheel on the Wacom Intuos airbrush,
simulating a needle control that adjusts how much ink is sprayed.
You can link brush settings (such as size, opacity, and angle) to stylus input data (such
as velocity, direction, pressure, airbrush fingerwheel, tilt, and bearing). Refer to
“Expression settings” on page 317 for more information about linking brush settings to
stylus input controls.
In theory, a mouse has no pressure information because a mouse button is either “on”
(button down) or “off” (button up). However, with Corel Painter you can simulate
stylus pressure.
If you are using a mouse with Corel Painter, you can compensate for the lack of pressure
information by adjusting size, opacity, and grain on the property bar. For example,
reducing opacity or grain can produce the same results as pressing more lightly with a
stylus.
To adjust pressure, tilt, and bearing when using a mouse
1 Choose Window Brush Control Panels Mouse.
2 Move the Pressure slider.
A 100% setting uses maximum pressure.
3 Move the Tilt slider.
A 90° setting simulates a stylus that is perpendicular to the tablet.
4 Move the Bearing slider.
