Roundness Specifies the ratio between the brush’s short and long axes. Enter a percentage value, or drag the points in

the preview box. A value of 100% indicates a circular brush, a value of 0% indicates a linear brush, and intermediate

values indicate elliptical brushes.

Adjusting roundness to compress a brush tip shape

Hardness Controls the size of the brush’s hard center. Type a number, or use the slider to enter a value that is a

percentage of the brush diameter. You can’t change the hardness of sampled brushes.

Brush strokes with different hardness values

Spacing Controls the distance between the brush marks in a stroke. To change the spacing, type a number, or use the

slider to enter a value that is a percentage of the brush diameter. When this option is deselected, the speed of the cursor

determines the spacing.

Increasing the spacing makes the brush skip

While using a preset brush, press the [ key to decrease the brush width; press the ] key to increase the width. For hard

round, soft round, and calligraphic brushes, press Shift+[ to decrease the brush hardness; press Shift+] to increase
