painter 8 自定义笔刷的选项和之前的版本有些不一样，以下用一个自定义的实例来初步说明。

——————————————————————————————————————————

1.选择Oil/Opaque Flat（油画笔/不透明平笔）变体。

3.调整好的变体需要储存，在Tracker（笔触追踪面板）的三角菜单中选择Save Variant（保存变体）。在弹出的对话框中自定义笔刷名字，Save Current Colors（保存当前颜色）的选项可以使以后的笔触保留当前的颜色，这个选项有些多余……在笔刷面板三角菜单中选择Restore Default Variant（恢复默认变体）把Opaque Flat（油画笔/不透明平笔）恢复默认的参数设定。以下笔触是修改前和修改后的比较。

5.Transposer（转换器）是新增的功能，它的作用可以把任何一种变体变成完全不同

的变体，比如把铅笔变成油画笔。不知道增加这个功能有什么作用，以下是painter

8自带的帮助文件的自述，如果有发现独特之处的朋友请及时补充……

Using the Transposer

The Transposer creates new brush variants based on a transition from one

variant to another. For example, you can choose to combine variants from

the Pencils and Felt Pens categories. The Transposer will use the settings

from each variant to create new variants.

The Transposer uses two Brush selector bars, at the top and bottom of the

page. The top Brush selector bar is used to choose the From variant; the

bottom one is used to choose the To variant. The Transposer uses these two

variants to create a series of new brush strokes.

To create a transposed brush variant

Do one of the following:

On the Brush selector bars at both the top and bottom of the Transposer

page, choose a brush category and variant.
Choose a brush stroke from the preview grid.
This brush variant becomes the next variant to be transposed.

Click the Transpose Current Selection button .
To choose a new brush variant from the Preview window
Click a brush stroke in the Preview window.
This variant becomes the next variant to be transposed.
