</h2>
<p id="998980" class="Body">
<a name="998980"> </a>The Brush Creator provides controls for customizing and creating brush variants. The Brush Creator is integrated tightly with Corel Painter, but contains its own tools, palettes, menus, and workflow. The user interface of the application changes depending on whether you are using the main application or the Brush Creator.
</p>
<p id="1016055" class="Body">
<a name="1016055"> </a>There are three elements to the Brush Creator: the Randomizer, the Transposer, and the Stroke Designer.
</p>
<p id="1016060" class="Body">
<a name="1016060"> </a>The Randomizer creates random brush settings for the selected brush category and variant.
</p>
<p id="1016073" class="Body">
<a name="1016073"> </a>The Transposer creates new brush settings based on the transition from one brush category and variant to another.
</p>
<p id="1019489" class="Body">
<a name="1019489"> </a>The Stroke Designer lets you control the size and shape of the media a brush applies, the way the dabs are repeated in a stroke, the media (usually color) that flows from a brush, and how a brush interacts with underlying pixels.
