</h3>
<p id="1004858" class="Body">
<a name="1004858"> </a>Nozzle controls for the Image Hose primarily affect where the images appear in the stroke, such as whether the images are scattered or closely spaced.

</h5>
<ol type="1">
<li class="SmartList1" value="1"><a name="1004868"> </a>Choose <span style="color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">Window menu > Brush Creator</span>, and click the Stroke Designer tab.</li>

<a name="1004864"> </a>Spacing Images
</h3>
<p id="1004861" class="Body">
<a name="1004861"> </a>You control the space between images with the Spacing settings in the Brush Creator. Moving the Spacing slider to the right increases the spacing between image elements.
<a name="1001246"> </a><i>The Spacing slider controls the spacing of the images. Top=85%, bottom=20%.
</i></p>
<p id="999100" class="Body">
<a name="999100"> </a>Because spacing is based on the diameter of the brush, the Size settings also affect image spacing. Increasing the brush size adds space between hosed images. Size settings affect the size of the image elements themselves.
</p>
<p id="999101" class="Body">
<a name="999101"> </a>The Min Size slider also affects the size of images applied by the Image Hose. When set to stylus pressure or direction, the Min Size setting determines how much size variability is present when you apply images.
</p>
<p id="999102" class="Body">
<a name="999102"> </a>For more information on the Spacing settings, refer to <a href="10-Brushes10.html#1017770">"Setting Spacing Controls"</a>. Refer to <a href="10-Brushes9.html#999376">"Size"</a>, and <a href="10-Brushes9.html#999415">"Min Size"</a> for more about the Size and Min Size controls.

<a name="999116"> </a>Randomizing Placement
</h3>
<p id="999117" class="Body">
<a name="999117"> </a>You randomize the proximity of images to the stroke path with the Jitter slider on the property bar. When the slider is all the way to the left, images are hosed directly in the stroke. Moving the slider to the right increases the scattering of the images.
</p>
<p id="999119" class="Body">
<a name="999119"> </a>You can also adjust the Jitter slider with the Random settings on the Stroke Designer tab. For more information, refer to <a href="10-Brushes16.html#1000150">"Setting Random Controls"</a>.
