Use Wacom tablet buttons to dynamically resize Corel Painter's brush size

-
I learnt a short cut using the Wacom tablet to dynamically change Corel Painter's brush size.

To change the brush size, do the following:
  1. In Corel Painter, click the Brush icon  in the Main toolbar.

  2. On the Wacom tablet, press down the two buttons as shown in the figure below.



  3. While the two buttons are pressed down, use the tablet pen on the tablet to press down on the tablet and drag.

    The brush size is dynamically resized as you drag the pen.

In Inkscape , it is possible to copy the color from one object to another object using the Pick Color   tool. This saves a bit of time since you don't have to note down the source color and type in the new RGB color values in some dialog box.  To illustrate how to do this, see the following steps. In Inkscape , click the Pick Color tool    icon in the left tool bar or press F7 on the keyboard. The cursor changes to an eye dropper . Hover the cursor over the object with the source color e.g. green S , as shown below. Then press CTRL+C . The color underneath the cursor is copied over to the clipboard . Then click the Select and transform objects tool or press F1 . Now click on the object to be changed, e.g. blue G , as shown below. Press CTRL+V . The selected object's color is changed from blue to green.
