How do photoshop brushes work




















And brush is going to paint the color whatever the color you have set in foreground color. Now one more thing is we can also apply blend modes to brushes. If I choose overlay mode and paint with same red color, then it will gona blend with the background image.

If I want to paint with same color with some transparency then I need to drag down the opacity. And the flow determines in how much area the pixels flow when clicking by brush. If I want to resize my brush then this is the shortcut to do it. These are very basic features of brush tool but to become more creative we need to go ahead to one more step in advanced by adding behaviours to the brush. Check on these items below. Where we can see changing behaviours of the brush as you change them.

Next I can scatter the brush. I can increase or decrease count of brush when we paint. Next I can give texture to the brush. Again, with this new option, make sure there are no other settings selected. The Scattering setting gives us three simple sliders. This is how spread out the brush tips are.

With this slider you can control how many brush tips Photoshop will paint on the canvas each time you click. By default, when you click down the paintbrush acts like a stamp — one image at a time. With the count function, you can increase how many of these images are stamped. With a count of five, Photoshop will paint five leaves on the canvas instead of only one.

Photoshop can also randomly change the count value each time the brush is used, so the more to the right you drag the slider, the more randomness you will get. Please note that you must set the count value to a higher value than one before the Count Jitter will start applying any randomness.

I set mine to multiply, but feel free to play around a bit to get a better feeling for the different modes. Imagine Depth as Opacity.

Catching on to the trend here with the Jitter function? Select a tip shape, and activate the Dual Brush Settings. Then select your secondary brush, I used the Dune Grass brush. The settings like Diameter, Spacing, Scatter and Count you should already be familiar with, so adjust as necessary. Photoshop uses the Primary Brush as mask for the Secondary Brush.

As you can see in the image above I have set my colors to brown and green. These Jitter settings allow you to control your colors on a more advanced level, allowing you to dictate how random you want the colors to be in your stroke. The last slider you will find in the Color Dynamics is the Purity. With this slider you can set how pure the saturation is. You can use this sliders to make sure the a saturation value never goes above your designated percentage. This setting gives you control over the Opacity and the Flow, allowing you to randomize them with the Jitter function.

This option creates noise with the gray values of your brush shape. The example below shows a soft rounded brush with and without noise. With the Wet Edges activated, Photoshop will simulate the effect of a watercolor image with wet edges to the brush strokes. The Airbrush allows paint to build up incrementally based on its flow settings. Click and hold the mouse button while the Airbrush is active, and more and more color will be applied to the brush.

This option smooths the curves of the stroke. Turning this option off will help if your brush is rendering too slowly. This was a long one.
