Using Auto Clone
Using a Cloner brush can take a long time if you're working on a large area. To save time, you can have Corel Painter make brush strokes for you, using the Auto Clone feature.
When you use Auto Clone with the Felt Pen Cloner and other tools that turn black as you repeat strokes, areas darken rapidly. You can slow down the color buildup and still use Auto Clone by lowering the Opacity value on the property bar. You can also change color values in the clone source.
Another way to automate cloning is to record and play back individual brush strokes. Refer to "Recording and Playing Back Strokes".
Auto Clone works particularly well with the Driving Rain Cloner and the Seurat variant of the Artist brush.
To fill a cloned area automatically
- Select the brush variant you want to clone with.
If you want only a part of your image to be affected, make a selection. Without an active selection, the effect is applied to the entire canvas.
- Do one of the following:
- Enable the Clone Color button
on the Colors palette.
- Click the palette menu arrow on the Colors palette, and choose Use Clone Color.
- Choose Effects menu > Esoterica> Auto Clone.
Corel Painter automatically applies dabs of paint to the selected area, using source imagery as the media.
- Click anywhere inside the image to stop Auto Clone when the right amount of clone image is completed to suit your design.
- If you apply Auto Clone to a large area, the paint may fill areas sparsely. When you click to stop Auto Clone, it stops at that point. It won't continue to fill the selected area. To fill an area completely, you must let the Auto Clone finish.
- For more information about making selections, refer to "Using Selections".
