A. Primary brush tip stroke (hard round 55). B. Secondary brush tip stroke (grass). C. Dual brush stroke (using both).
Mode Sets a blending mode to use when combining brush marks from the primary tip and the dual tip. (See “Blending
modes” on page 312.)
Diameter Controls the size of the dual tip. Enter a value in pixels, drag the slider, or click Use Sample Size to use the
original diameter of the brush tip. (The Use Sample Size option is available only if the brush tip shape was created by
sampling pixels in an image.)
Spacing Controls the distance between the dual tip brush marks in a stroke. To change the spacing, type a number, or
use the slider to enter a percentage of the tip diameter.
Scatter Specifies how dual tip brush marks are distributed in a stroke. When Both Axes is selected, dual tip brush
marks are distributed in a radial direction. When Both Axes is deselected, dual tip brush marks are distributed
perpendicular to the stroke path. To specify the maximum percentage of scattering, type a number or use the slider to
enter a value.
Count Specifies the number of dual tip brush marks applied at each spacing interval. Type a number, or use the slider
to enter a value.
Color dynamics brush options
Color dynamics determine how the color of paint changes over the course of a stroke.
Brush strokes without color dynamics (left) and with color dynamics (right)
Foreground/Background Jitter and Control Specifies how paint varies between the foreground color and background
color.
To specify a percentage by which the color of the paint can vary, type a number, or use the slider to enter a value. To
specify how you want to control the color variance of brush marks, choose an option from the Control pop-up menu:
• Off Specifies no control over the color variance of brush marks.
• Fade Varies the color of paint between the foreground color and the background color in the specified number of
steps.
• Pen Pressure, Pen Tilt, Stylus Wheel, Rotation Varies the color of paint between the foreground color and the
background color based on the pen pressure, pen tilt, position of the pen thumbwheel, or rotation of the pen.
