In-Depth Information
t5IF Fade setting controls how quickly the paint color will fade to nothing. Low values
fade more quickly than high ones.
t Hue Jitter controls the rate at which the brush color switches between foreground and
background hues. High values cause quicker switches between the two colors.
t Hardness sets the size of the hard-edged center of the brush. Lower values produce soft
brushes.
t5IF Scatter setting is used to control the way that strokes are bunched around the drawn
line. A high value will cause the brush strokes to be more distant and less closely packed.
t Angle controls the inclination of an elliptical brush.
t5IF Roundness setting is used to determine the shape of the brush tip. A value of 100%
will produce a circular brush, whereas a 0% setting results in a linear brush tip.

Airbrush
The Airbrush tool, located in the options bar of the Brush tool, sprays the paint color over
the surface of the image. Although the size and style of the spray are determined by the
selected brush (in the options bar), the edge of the area painted with this tool is a lot softer
than the equivalent paint brush. Holding the mouse button down in one spot will build up
the color in much the same way as paint from a spray can.
