When talking about editing an image or being able to illustrate one, you have to think very carefully about the software that you are going to use. Although many of these software have similar tools and uses, in general people tend to lean a little more towards using Photoshop.
The suite that Photoshop comes with, that is, the other programs, make a good complement when it comes to editing all kinds of multimedia content. But, the appearance of the adobe suite has only caused the appearance of the competition in the market.
This competition has taken various forms, but one of the most popular has ended up being Corel’s suite. It really is a good alternative to be able to illustrate, retouch and edit all kinds of images. And being the counterpart of Photoshop, Corel PhotoPaint appears.
It may seem a bit basic on the surface, but it has turned out to be a reliable all-you-need alternative to Photoshop. When we talk about this program, Corel PhotoPaint also comes with particular tools that turn out to be genuinely useful such as its templates. But a clear example of this is the image spreader brush.
It is an excellent option when looking to make frames or achieve a particular effect within an image that is being edited. It all depends on the images used in a list. And, being able to perfect its use makes this a tool that cannot be left aside.
For the latter, if you are interested in being able to learn all the secrets that Corel PhotoPaint has for you, see below how you can use this tool.
Using Corel PhotoPaint’s Image Sprayer Brush
As such, Corel PhotoPaint’s Image Sprayer Brush is a tool through which you can spray a series of images sequentially or randomly into one image. You can use it to make a composition or simply add a striking tone to an image. To use it, you just have to follow the following step by step.
- First, you will need to open the Corel PhotoPaint program. Once opened, you have to look for the image disseminator tool in the toolbar that the program has. Click on it when you’ve found it.
- Now, click on the image you are editing or on a blank sheet to capture the sequence of images.
- Remember that at the top you can edit how this sequence of images is captured. You can change how opaque or transparent the images are. As well as the order in which these images appear and much more.
- And, in case you want to change the images that are used, you can click on the “Browse” option that is at the top to be able to see the files that you have available with the sequence of images.
- You can also press Ctrl while using this tool to make a straight line and shift to change direction.
How to compose a list of images for the image spreader?
In the event that you want to use a particular series of images that you want to create, all you have to do is the following:
- You must capture the images in PNG format within Corel PhotoPaint. You can do it in different layers or in one.
- Next you must select all the images and click on the image spreader tool.
- Then, you have to click on the option at the top of “Save objects as image list…” and from that moment you will be able to access this list of images to use with your image spreader.
It should be noted that this program allows you to create your own custom brushes so that you can save them and use them whenever you want.
