Using The Painting Tools
Canvas provides a full range of painting tools, including the digital equivalents of markers, airbrushes, and
paintbrushes, tools for creating effects like neon and blends, and tools for retouching, color-correction, and
cloning images. To use the painting tools, you can begin in several ways. You can select a painting tool and begin
painting with it, you can draw a blank paint object to use as a canvas, or you can import or place an image, and
edit it using the painting tools.
