Photo nozzles in Corel Painter can be extremely useful for creating realistic-looking foliage, without you having to paint in every single leaf.
Creating photo nozzles in Painter can be a fairly simple process, if you are already familiar with Corel Painter's basic tool set. A nozzle in Painter is a function that lets you spray an image such as a drawing or photo onto your canvas. Default nozzles in Painter let you spray leaves, flowers, buildings and trees, among other things. To create your own image nozzles, you simply need a Photoshop or Painter file with five different layers, each one containing one of the objects that you would like to spray from your nozzle.
Instructions
1. Open Painter. Create a new art file.
2. Set your art file to contain five layers, using Painter's layer palette. Create additional layers by clicking on the small arrow sub-menu at the top right of the palette window, and selecting "New layer."
3. Draw or paste a photo of a flower (cut out from Adobe Photoshop) into your first layer.
4. Draw a similar flower to the first layer or paste a matching photo of a flower (cut out from Adobe Photoshop) into your second layer.
5. Draw or paste a photo into your next three layers, until you have five layers, each containing an element of your image nozzle. Either a drawing or a photo can be displayed on your layers.
6. Group all five layers by selecting them and, in the "Layer" sub-menu, select "Group layers."
7. Open the nozzle selector. Click on the arrow to access the sub-menu. Choose "Make nozzle from group." This will create a new file, with your different layers displayed over black.
8. Save the new file as a RIFF. Give it a descriptive name, such as "flower photo nozzle." Close the file.
9. Open a separate art document to use your new nozzle.
10. Select the "Nozzle" tool, access the sub-menu and select your "Image hose" tool in the "Paintbrush" menu. Click "Load nozzle" to begin using your new photo nozzle.
