Before I explain about the Auto Dab World custom palette and associated resources, I want to give a short background introduction into two less known or utilized Painter features. Auto Clone In Painter IX and X, Auto Clone may be accessed from the Effects menu> Esoterica> Auto Clone.
As the name suggests, the feature provides a way to automatically paint in a new 'clone destination' image, based on the current variant and color information taken from the 'clone source' image. Unlike the more recent Auto-Painting palette feature (based on Record Stroke> Auto Playback), the resulting image is made up of individually placed brush dabs (think of a random pointalize technique) rather than pre-recorded brush strokes painted along paths.
There is a keyboard shortcut to access Auto Clone Shift + Command/Control + Z.

Growth Patterns Library for Corel Painter. There are a total of 21 custom patterns in the Growth Patterns library, and each is depicted in the above image. Although for the purpose of display, the patterns are shown at very small scale, they have actually been captured in the range of between 500 and 600 pixels. I have created them mainly for use in combination with the default Pattern Chalk variant (Painter Brushes> Pattern Pens> Pattern Chalk), and they work well even at large brush sizes with this variant. Loading the Growth Patterns library After unzipping the resource, select Open Library from either the Patterns Selector menu in the Toolbox palette, or the launched Patterns Palette menu (Window menu> Library Palettes> Patterns).
In the Choose Patterns dialog, navigate to, and highlight the Growth Patterns.ptl file, then click Open. Select the default Pattern Chalk variant from the Brush Selector Bar to apply the selected pattern. Corel Painter User Resources.
