160 Corel Painter X3 Getting Started Guide
Cloning allows you to “filter” source images to create an artistic rendering of the image.
You can create new cloner brushes or refine existing cloner brush variants by using the
brush controls. For more information, see “Adjusting brushes with brush controls” on
page 315.
Brushes that use buildup methods, like pencils and felt pens, build toward black. If you
clone with one of these brushes in a dark area of your image, you may not achieve the
desired results. You can use the Opacity slider on the property bar to control how
rapidly these brushes build up to black. You can also choose chalk or one of the other
tools that cover underlying colors.
Because the cloning methods use a full set of pixels from the original document for each
brush dab, you get a truer copy of the original than you might by using the Clone Color
button . Unlike the Clone Color option, the cloning methods preserve the original
image texture in the clone. Cloning methods are good to use when you want to precisely
re-create portions of a source image.
Auto cloning
Using a cloner brush can take a long time if you’re working on a large area. To work
more quickly, you can have Corel Painter make brushstrokes for you, using the Auto
Clone feature. For more information, see “Automatically cloning an image” on
page 593. You can also have Corel Painter place directional brushstrokes to produce a
Van Gogh–like rendition of a cloned image. For more information, see “Applying the
Auto Van Gogh effect” on page 595.
