Painting and Drawing 131

To import a Paint Shop Pro picture tube file:

1. On the Brush Tip tab, select a category you've created yourself, right-click

and choose Import....

2. Use the dialog to browse for and select the picture tube (.TUB) file to

import.

If you right-click on any gallery sample, you can manage categories, and access

brush options. With a bit of forethought, it’s not difficult to lay out your own

master images and from them create your own custom Picture Brush tips. (For

details, see online help.)

Erasing

Sometimes the rubber end of the pencil can be just as important to an artist as

the pointed one. The Eraser Tools flyout on the Tools toolbar provides ways of

enhancing an image by "painting" with transparency rather than with color:

The Standard Eraser Tool for replacing colors in

an image either with the background color or with

transparency (on Background or other standard

layers, respectively).

The Background Eraser Tool for erasing pixels

similar to a sampled reference color underlying the

cursor crosshair—great for painting out unwanted

background colors.

The Flood Eraser Tool for filling a region with

transparency, erasing pixels similar to the color under

the cursor when you first click.

In general, you can set tool properties for each tool including brush

characteristics, opacity, tolerance, flow, and choose a brush tip. The Eraser tools

work on Background and standard layers, but not on text layers or shape layers.
