130 Painting and Drawing

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.

To draw with the Picture Brush:

1. From the Tools toolbar's Brush Tools flyout, select the

Picture Brush

Tool.

2. On the Brush Tip tab, pick a brush tip from one of the categories.

To control image elements, right-click a brush from any Brush Tip tab

category, and choose Brush Options....

3. From the Context toolbar, scale the opacity and size of the image elements

produced by using the Opacity and Diameter option. For pen tablet users,

check stylus Size and/or Opacity to make these brush properties respond to

your pressure device.

Note that Diameter isn't an absolute setting, but a relative one. Each picture

brush stores its own pre-defined elements, and this scaling determines how

the tool scales elements up or down when drawing. The actual size of stored

elements varies between brushes, so you may need to adjust the image

diameter when switching between different brushes.

4. To "stamp" single images at specific points, click in various places on your

canvas. To spray a continuous line of images, drag a path across the page.
