Corel Painter to match your stroke strength for all brushes by using the Brush Tracking preferences, or for a
specific brush, by using the Brush Calibration controls.
Brush Tracking for all brush variants
Brush Tracking is particularly useful for artists with a light touch. If a light stroke leaves no color on the
canvas, you can use Brush Tracking to increase sensitivity for all brushes. Corel Painter saves Brush Tracking
between sessions, so whatever tracking sensitivity you set will be the default the next time you open the
application.
Abrupt changes in the width or density of your strokes shows that you need to adjust your Brush Tracking
preferences.

The most common way of adjusting brush tracking is to apply a typical brushstroke, such as a wavy stroke,
to the scratch pad. Corel Painter then uses your stroke to calculate the appropriate pressure and velocity
settings for all brush variants. However, you can also specify pressure and velocity values.
