Creating a 1 Rank Nozzle-(P4-5)


Something to remember when creating nozzles, the smaller the file the faster they load. The example below shows leafs at 10%/50%/100% & 400%.  At 400% only the tip of the leaf is shown for comparison.  All nozzles lose focus as you increase or decrease their size.  Painter 4 & 5 allows you to scale them from 2% to 400% (In P6 I stopped at 2000%) .  To be certain your nozzle images will be in focus and large enough for close up detail work create oversized images for this purpose.  The trade offs are slow loading files that look nice and you have to create more of them to get the job done if you have many different images in your painting.

Download the leaves2.exe file if you don't want to create your own objects.  Open a new file at 400X400 & 72DPI. Click on the Objects (1) palette.  Click on The word Floater.  A menu (2) will appear.  Click on Floater Portfolio… or press Ctrl+7.  The Objects:Floaters (3) palette will open.

Click on the window at the bottom of the Objects:Floaters (3)(Hand) palette, from the menu that appears select Load Library… The Open dialog box (4) appears.
