Using Paint Modes

You can select the type of special effects you want to apply to the brush from the Paint Modes box. Strokes applied with these brushes are processed by the graphics hardware, improving interactive performance. To paint sources onto images, see Revealing Sources.

To select a brush:

1. Switch to either Result (F4) or Output Matte (F4 F4) view.
2. From the Paint Modes box, select a brush. Refer to the sections that follow for instructions on using each brush.
   TipWhen a brush is selected, brush opacity and blend modes are disabled. To achieve an effect similar to modified brush opacity, use the Pressure attribute mode.
