Barb's Painter Nozzles: FIXED AND REPACKAGED!

ABOUT THESE NOZZLES: The Nozzles are all now CROSS-PLATFORM and have been REBUNDLED into thematic nozzle libraries (fewer downloads & smaller file sizes)! These files were designed for use with the Image Hose in Fractal Design's Painter 4 and 5, and can be used with Corel's Painter 6 and 7.

NOZZLE LIBRARY TITLES: Beads; Bauble; Candies; Easter Eggs; Fairy Lights; Snowflakes; Stars; Tinsel; Xmas Xtras.

There are a couple of new nozzles in the sets plus some old favourites, some of which have been remastered. Refer to the table below.

DOWNLOAD AND UNZIPPING INSTRUCTIONS: The nozzles are once again CROSS-PLATFORM, and the zipped files can be used by PC and Mac alike.

PC users: unzip with WinZip or similar.
Mac Users: unzip with ZipIt or Stuffit Expander:

MAC NOTE: ZipIt will unzip the files as a complete working nozzle.
OR
Stuffit Expander will unzip the nozzles as text files. Drop them onto the free and excellent PAINTER CONVERT applescript available from: www.bryceworks.com: Nozzle Library Convert - PC-NZL-Mac

NOTES FOR USE:

1. Access these Nozzle Libraries in Painter by selecting "Load Library" from the dropdown menu at the bottom of the Painter palette. Make up your own sets or add individual nozzle files to your regular nozzle palette using the Nozzle Mover.

2. Image Hose choices: The nozzle controls in the later versions of Painter are different and you need to experiment a bit with the Image Hose options to see which of the variables such as "Linear-Size/P" or "Spray-Angle/B" etc gives you the result you want with each nozzle. Some you will want a string of, some you'll want to scatter in a random spray, some you'll want to place individually...

3. Brush Controls:

(a) Size and Spacing. Altering settings such as Size and Spacing will help to spray a closely-spaced rope or a widely spaced string of baubles or tinsel, for example.

(b) The Expression panel has choices to control the way 2 or 3 rank nozzles can be controlled.

For example: The multicoloured stars nozzle (a 2-rank nozzle) from the Stars collection. Rank 1 controls colour, Rank 2 controls size.

Set the Image Hose to a Linear nozzle setting, and the Expression settings to Rank 1=Direction and Rank 2=None, and you can draw a string of stars, all the same size and colour in one direction. When you change direction, the size stays the same, BUT YOU GET A DIFFERENT COLOUR.

If you reverse those Rank options, so that Rank 1=None and Rank 2=Direction, you will get a string of stars all the same colour (green), BUT A DIFFERENT SIZE when you change direction.

If you make Rank1=Random and Rank 2=Direction, then you get a multicoloured string of stars which changes size when you change direction.

You have to be prepared to play. Don't forget to check the Nozzle Scale setting if the nozzle looks fuzzy or soft - work at 100% or less to get best result...
