Corel® Painter™ IX lets you choose an icon for the drawing cursor. You can also change the orientation of the drawing icon. When you enable Brush Ghosting, the drawing cursor shows the size and shape of the selected brush, which gives you immediate visual feedback on the drawing cursor. In addition, you can set the drawing cursor to be a single pixel.

1. On the General page of the Preferences dialog box, enable the Brush option in the Cursor Type area.



2. Choose one of the following drawing cursor icon options from the pop-up menu to the right of the Brush option:
   
   Brush
   Cross
   Torus
   Triangle
   Hollow Triangle
   Gray Triangle
   
   The selected cursor icon appears in the Orientation area.



3. Enable an Orientation option.



4. Enable the Enable Brush Ghosting check box.



5. Click OK.
