Using a pressure-sensitive pen

Corel PHOTO-PAINT provides settings to control brush strokes applied using a pressure-sensitive pen, or stylus. The pressure applied with the pen on a pen tablet determines the size, opacity, and other attributes of the brush stroke.

The pressure-sensitive pen attributes can be saved for future use when you save a custom brush. For more information about custom brushes, see “Creating custom brushes” in the Help.

To configure a pen tablet

1Click Tools ` Options.

2In the Workspace list of categories, click General.

3In the Pen tablet area, click the Configuration button.

4Apply five strokes using a full range of pressure.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT automatically configures many pressure-sensitive pens. If your pressure-sensitive pen has been configured automatically, the Pen tablet configuration button appears grayed.

To set the attributes of a pressure-sensitive pen

1Open the Brush flyout , and click the Paint tool .

2On the property bar, open the Paint tool picker, and click a paint tool.

3In the Brush settings docker, click the flyout arrow on the Pen settings bar.
