A visual guide to making screen tones with Painter 7.

The purpose of this guide is to visually show how to acomplish very convincing

screen tone effects with Painter 7. The tutorial is very visual, this was done in

consideration for those of us (like me) who need visual cues to learn properly.

Setting up your Canvas

· Create a new file 20x20 in size.

· Zoom in to about 3200%

· Click on Show Grid and then

follow into Grid Options .

you please. The guide helps us make a coherent tone.

· Select black and the circle tool (If you do not see the circle tool , click and hold on

the square icon whre the circle is on my example and select the circle)

Before Drop

· Draw something like this.Your setting

up the dots in a brick pattern.

· Remember, you are extremely

zoomed you are seeing vector drawings

and they don't represent actual pixels.

Dropping the vectors.

After Drop

Select both circles in Layers

by holding Ctrl + clicking each

Oval layer .

Then drop those layers.

· Before we continue I want to make a

short note about vector circles.

Place cursor over the circle

· Notice the circle is bigger. It's very smooth.

But when dropped into a rasterized mode

(mouse over the image) we get a rather

jaggy image. Considering we are 2300%

zoomed in, this isn't so bad.

· When using tones, the larger the dpi and

resolution , the better. I usually work on a

drawing double it's original size when i'm

publishing to the net. I proceed to resample

it to half it's original size.

Creating The Pattern

Select the Rectangle Selection tool

· Select your dots thusly. This should be a perfect tile.

downwards in your Patterns

window. Click on Capture

Pattern.

· Name the file and click OK and remove the grid lines (since we don't

need them anymore). There is shortcut in the upper hand corner of

your canvas window.

· We can now adjust the tiling of our pattern. We can do this to fix our pattern or alter

our pattern for interesting effects.

Original Settings

Horizontal

Larger

Smaller

· When you Scale bigger, there is this ugly clipping effect. It can only be defeated by
