Paint tool options
Set the following in the options bar. Options available vary with each tool.
Mode Sets the method for blending the color you paint with the underlying existing pixels. Available modes change
with the currently selected tool. Paint modes are similar to layer blending modes. See
“Blending modes” on page 312.
Opacity Sets the transparency of color you apply. As you paint over an area, the opacity will not exceed the set level
no matter how many times you move the pointer over the area, until you release the mouse button. If you stroke over
the area again, you will apply additional color, equivalent to the set opacity. Opacity of 100 percent is opaque.
