You can give any built-in brush the power of a
plug-in by changing its method and subcategory.
To choose a method and subcategory
1
Choose Window Brush Control Panels General.
2 Choose a method from the Method list box.
3 Choose a subcategory from the Subcategory list box.
The Method and Subcategory options are available only with circular, single-pixel, static bristle,

General controls: Source
The Source setting lets you specify the media that is applied by the brush variant. Source applies only to
some dab types, such as Line Airbrush,Projected, and Rendered. For more information about setting a
media source, see “Exploring painting media” on page 131.
Corel Painter brushes use one of the following source types:
• Color applies primary or secondary color.
• Gradient applies the current gradient across the length of the stroke. For more information, see
“Applying gradients” on page 723.
• Gradient Repeat applies the current gradient repeatedly along the stroke. For more information, see
“Applying gradients” on page 723.
• Pattern paints with a pattern containing no mask information. For more information, see “Painting with
patterns” on page 711.
• Pattern With Mask paints with a pattern limited by the pattern’s mask. For more information, see
“Painting with patterns” on page 711.
• Pattern As Opacity paints a pattern in which the luminance of the pattern becomes the opacity of the
stroke. For more information, see “Painting with patterns” on page 711.
