Nib Width Sets the width of the brush in pixels.
Feathering Sets the amount to feather on the edge of the brush to prevent sharp transitions between the original and
healed part of the photo.
Feathering is set as a percentage of the nib width, not as a specific number of pixels. This means that you
do not have to adjust the feathering when you reset the Nib Width, as it automatically adjusts to a
percentage of the new nib width.

Adding text to an image
You can use the Add Text tool in Edit to add formatted text to a photo, or add talk and thought bubbles to create a comic-book effect.
You can also adjust the opacity of the text to create a watermark effect, which is useful for putting copyright information onto your
photos.
You can save your options as a preset
for future use.

2. In the Add group, click Text.
3. Type the text you want to add in the Text field.
4. In the Font area, specify the font you want to use, the formatting options such as italics or justification, and the color of the
text. Drag the Size slider to specify a point size, and then drag the Opacity slider to specify the transparency of the text.
5. Click and drag the text marquee to reposition it anywhere on your image, or drag the marquee's handles to resize it.

carded.
