The Brush Properties property editor displays and controls the properties of the current brush, selected from the FX Paint
Brush List. You can modify any brush's properties to define the look of your paint strokes. The available properties vary
depending on which brush is selected.
Paint Brush
|
|
Displays the brush name. You cannot change this parameter.
|
|
|
Changes the paint source. Choose one of the following sources. uses the current foreground color.
uses the paint operator currently displayed in the FX Viewer.
uses the merge source (see page 270)
Erases paint strokes. In raster paint clips, erasing reveals the last saved state of the image.
|
|
|
List the available brush shapes. The brush profile can be Solid, Soft, Gaussian, Linear, Curve, or Brush Image.
|
|
|
Controls the opacity level of paint strokes. The higher the value, the more opaque the strokes.
|
|
|
Sets the maximum brush size radius in pixels. As you change the radius value, the paint cursor grows and shrinks accordingly. To quickly change the radius of the current brush press [ to lower the value and ] to raise it.
|
|
|
When activated, the brush simulates an airbrush. Rather than stamping paint onto an image, the brush applies paint gradually.
The longer you hold the paint cursor over a given point on the image, the more opaque the paint becomes at that point.
|
|
|
Specifies the distance between adjacent brush stamps. The units are percentage of brush radius, so a spacing of 100% would
result in a new stamp each time the brush reaches the edge of the last stamp and a spacing of 1% would put down a new stamp
when the brush moves 1% of the radius. Increasing Spacing increases the distance between stamps, decreasing Spacing decreases
the distance.
|
Profile
|
|
List the available brush shapes. The brush profile can be Solid, Soft, Gaussian, Linear, Curve, or Brush Image.
|
|
|
Sets the flatness of the brush profile. As you raise the value, the brush profile appears flatter and the paint cursor is
flattened accordingly.
|
|
|
Sets the angle of the brush. Set any value from -360 to 360% by dragging the Angle slider. As you change the Angle value the
brush cursor is rotated accordingly.
|
Merge/Clone Offset
|
|
Sets the source offset for merging/cloning in X and Y. Positive values offset to the right, negative values offset to the
left.
|
|
|
Offsets the merge/clone source, in time, by the specified number of frames. For example, using the clone brush with a time-offset
of -1 allows you to paint the previous frame of a sequence into the current frame.
|
Curve
Use the curve editor on this tab to edit the brush profile.
Texture
When you paint with a texture, the paint color is applied using the selected texture, in the shape defined by the other brush
settings (opacity, radius, flatness, and so on).
|
|
Choose a texture to paint with from the list.
|
|
|
The texture that you choose in the list is displayed in this pane.
|
|
|
When activated, the brush applies the paint color using the texture.
|
|
|
When activated, the texture is inverted before the brush applies the paint color using it.
|
Add

|
|
Specifies the source that is added to the image. use the current paint foreground color.

uses the merge source image.
|
Binary
Converts the image to either black or white according to a luma threshold.
|
|
The luma threshold according to which the image is converted to black or white. Pixels whose luma value falls below the threshold are converted to black. Pixels whose luma value exceeds the threshold are
converted to white.
|

the decay.
|
Elastic RGB
Causes the pixel at the center of the brush stamp to influence the color of the other pixels. The color of the other pixels
will move toward the color of the center pixel if the value is positive, and away from the color for the center of the pixel
if the value is negative. The sample is weighted so that the pixels nearer the center are influenced more than the pixels
nearer the edge.

|
|
|
When Use is set to All, this value controls the strength of the effect.
|

Causes the pixels to move toward or away from the center of the brush sample, according to whether the value is positive or
negative. The sample is weighted so that pixels nearer the center are influenced more than pixels nearer the edge.

applies the effect to all channels at once.
has no effect.
|
|
|
When Use is set to All, this value controls the strength of the effect.
