The Digital Water Color brushes create effects
similar to those of Water Color brushes, but
without creating a separate layer.

Diffusion
Digital Water Color brushes also use
diffusion to create soft, feathery edges
on the brush strokes. You can adjust
the amount of diffusion using the
controls on the Stroke Designer page
of the Brush Creator.
To adjust diffusion:
1 Apply one or more strokes with a
Digital Water Color variant.
If you would like to restrict the
diffusion to a region, make a
selection with any selection tool.
The diffusion effect will apply only
within the selection.
2 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Digital
Water Color.
3 Adjust the Diffusion slider.
Drag the slider to the right to
increase diffusion, to the left to
decrease diffusion.
4 Paint on the Scratch Pad of the
Brush Creator to preview the
settings.
