Patent number: 11514620Abstract: Graphic arts software has evolved to provide users with a variety of mark making tools to simulate different brushes, papers, and applied media such as ink, chalk, watercolour, spray paint and oils. However, in many instances the marks rendered appear unnatural and artificial despite the software's goal being to simulate as realistically. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide either users or the software application with a mechanism to remove or reduce artifacts indicative of artificial generation, e.g. rapid transitions. Further, in many instances the graphic images generated and/or manipulated refer to imagined environments or have elements that are physical in nature. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide users with a range of mark making tools that represent marks made by mark making tools comprising multiple elements following physical laws.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2021Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Corel CorporationInventors: Christopher Tremblay, Pascal Becheiraz, Stephen P. Bolt

Patent number: 8250488Abstract: The presently disclosed technology provides curved slider GUIs with user interface sensitivity independent from a distance between a cursor and a radial center of the curved slider on a display. An area of operation is defined by an area between parallel bounds oriented equidistant from a radial center of a curved slider and extending from the outermost limits of the curved slider in both directions. Because of the geometry of the area of operation, a distance required to operate an entire range of the curved slider is independent from a distance between the cursor and the radial center of the curved slider. Since a distance that the cursor moves on the display often directly corresponds to movement of a physical input device, the presently disclosed technology results in a more intuitive operation of curved slider because the physical input motions more directly correlate to movements of the curved slider.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2009Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Corel CorporationInventors: Steven Mark Szoczei, Pascal Becheiraz

Patent number: 7515752Abstract: A drawing assistance system enhances a sketch drawn by a user in an electrical document on a computer system by collecting stroke data from one or more strokes of a sketch as a user draws the sketch. The stroke data includes time-based information and features of each stroke. The strokes are handled based on the time-based information, and analysed based on the strokes handled based on the time-based information. The sketch is enhanced based on results of the analysis.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2004Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Corel CorporationInventors: Christopher Jason Tremblay, Pascal Bécheiraz, Rick Charles Champagne, Valentin Ivanov, Daniel Jetté, Paul Legomski, Shawn Lipstein, Vladimir Makarov
