Dynamic Plug-ins 657
The Equalize dynamic plug-in creates a histogram showing the number of pixels for
each brightness level value. Equalize allows gamma adjustment, which lightens or
darkens an image without changing highlights or shadows.
To create an Equalize dynamic layer
1 Do one of the following:
• In the Layers panel, choose the Canvas.
• Choose the Rectangular Selection tool from the toolbox, and then drag in
the document window to select an area.
2 In the Layers panel, click the Dynamic Plug-ins button , and choose Equalize.
3 In the Equalize dialog box, adjust the contrast by dragging the small black and
white markers under the histogram.
Any values in the image located to the right of the white marker become black; any
values to the left of the black marker become white.
4 Drag the Brightness slider to adjust only the midtones of an image and leave the
white and black areas untouched.
Corel Painter automatically creates a new layer when you apply the dynamic plug-
in.
If you don’t like the results, click Reset to restore the default settings.
You can also use the Opacity slider in the Layers panel to adjust the effect.
Applying the Glass Distortion dynamic plug-in
The Glass Distortion dynamic plug-in creates a layer that simulates the appearance of
viewing the image through textured glass. You can move the layer in the document to
view the distortion over different parts of an image.
