Painting and Drawing 73

To use the Paintbrush or Pencil tool:

1. Select the

Paintbrush Tool or Pencil Tool from the Tools

toolbar's Brush flyout. When you move the tool over the image the

cursor will change.

2. Choose a brush tip preset on the Brush Tip tab. If you've picked a

Basic brush, set a brush color (i.e. the foreground color) from the

Color tab before painting. You can also create your own brush from

within the tab.

3. Change brush tip's attributes, if necessary, on the Context toolbar.

These changes do not affect the brush presets present in the Brush Tip

tab. Click the Brush option to reveal the Brush Options dialog, which

lets you set more advanced brush characteristics.

4. Drag the cursor on the active layer, holding the left mouse button

down to paint in the foreground color.

Stamping and spraying pictures

The

Picture Brush Tool works like a custom brush

that sprays a series of pre-defined or custom images at

regular intervals as you drag. Used in conjunction with

the Brush Tip tab you can select from a variety of picture

brushes in different categories, and you can import Paint

Shop Pro "picture tubes."

You can use the tool either to "stamp" single images at

specific points or lay out a continuous stream of

repeating pictures as in the letter "S" on the left.

The Picture Brush tool works on Background and standard layers, but not on

text layers or shape layers.
