Painterly flow guide
Three looks
Each picture below was made in Painterly flow from its two sample pictures: a preset, then Replay, caught near the middle of the run, where the brush is largest. The table lists what was pressed. A run moves fast, so a picture you save will be a different moment.
Swirl comb
Press Swirl comb under Presets, then press Replay at the top of the panel.
The Comb render drags colour along the flow, and long strokes with strong jitter turn the picture into a haze of streaks. Smoothed directions make them curl around the big shapes.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Presets | Swirl comb |
| Load and save | Replay |
Raise Stroke length to 6 for the longest streaks the slider allows.
Palette knife
Press Palette knife under Presets, then press Replay at the top of the panel.
The biggest brush and the crispest edge setting smooth whole areas into broad, flat patches, as if spread with a blade. High flow coherence lines the patches up with the large forms.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Presets | Palette knife |
| Load and save | Replay |
Lower Edge sharpness to about 4 to soften the slabs into each other.
Gouache wash
Press Gouache wash under Presets, then press Replay at the top of the panel.
A small brush and low sharpness only soften the picture a little, and a paint amount of 0.78 lets some of the plain picture through. Ease out starts fast, so the brush swells early in the run.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Presets | Gouache wash |
| Load and save | Replay |
Raise Paint amount to 1 to cover the photo fully.
