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.
