Changing dab profiles
The Dab Profile panel displays a selection of dab profiles that you can apply to your
brushes. Each brush tip profile shows a cross-section of density distribution across the
diameter of the dab. You can think of a brush tip profile as a bell-curve graph
representing the density spread across the brush dab.
Different media have different density distributions. Changes in the density distribution
produce different marking qualities in a brushstroke. For rendered airbrush dab types,
the brush tip profile controls the concentration of the spray.
Each Corel Painter brush uses one of the following brush tip profiles.
Profile Description
Pointed Profile Provides maximum density at the center,
with rapid falloff to the edge.
Medium Profile Has a wide area of greater density at the
center, with rapid falloff to the edge.
Linear Profile Provides maximum density at the center,
with even falloff to the edge.
Dull Profile Provides maximum density at the center,
with high density weighting to the edge.
Watercolor Profile Provides maximum density at the outer edge
in a ringlike fashion, with medium internal
density. This tip may be used with the
rendered dab types to yield a hollow dab or a
spray concentration.
1-Pixel Edge Provides maximum density throughout,
with rapid falloff at the edge, producing a 1-
pixel, anti-aliased edge.
