Are there any plugins available to produce a good "realistic" water splash/spray in Corel like the ones available for Photoshop? The ones I find for Corel look "cartoonish" to me. I would like a good "real" looking splash or spray. I searched the forum and found one post but that is not what I'm looking for. The ones I would like to find are like these....

I have some plugins from a guy that took Photoshop plugins and turned them into ones that would work in Corel. They can be downloaded for free...they are "blood splatter" and "Smoke" This is the type I/m looking for. Would it be possible that someone here could create such a brush for Corel X6?
In addition to Michael Davis post......
I use ACDSee to open and convert .abr to Jpg. I then create brush from jpeg and paint away. This example is straight from the first one on the website you posted. The Corel Help files will guide you into making custom brush strokes. If further assistance is needed, continue this post.
I've downloaded the abrviewer as mentioned above. When I open the Photoshop files with it and export them..they are exported as .png files. When I place them into folders I created under "custommediastrokes" in the Corel Draw directory they don't show up in the Artistic media selections. I have to manualy navigate to the folder to make my selections. Is that normal or do I need to convert the .png files to something else? I have been able to save some individually by opening them up then saving them as a sprayer. Do I just continue doing that till I get all of the saved? I would also like to change the color as you have done with your blue example.
see if this will help. (1)open photopaint (2)open png or jpg if you have those. (3)click mask at the top of tool bar and select all (4)select float(if you want it inverted then do that now. (5) open your brush docker and click on nib properties and then nib options (6)click create from contents of mask (7) click ok. At the bottom of your brushes will be what was just created
Thanks Michael for your great example. That was exactly what I was trying to do. Now I can easily change the colors too! I knew I could get the answer here!
