Dragging the Image

Use the Drag medium to drag a selected area of the image across the canvas. The selected area is painted on the canvas as you drag the brush, creating an image trail.

NoteThe Direction brush attribute cannot be used with the Drag medium.

To use the Drag medium:

1. Click Custom and then select Drag from the Custom Media box.
2. Click Canvas.
3. Set the brush size.
4. Position the brush over the region of the image that you want to use. Hold down the cursor to select that region.
5. Drag the brush.

   The selected region is painted onto the image as you drag. The pressure of the brush determines the density of the image trail. See Brush Pressure.
