Water Color Profile
Water Color Profile provides
maximum density at the outer edge in
a ringlike fashion, with medium
internal density.
This tip may be used with the
rendered dab types to yield a hollow
dab or a spray concentration.
1-Pixel Edge
1-Pixel Edge provides maximum
density throughout, with a rapid fall-
off at the edge, producing a one-pixel,
anti-aliased edge.
To choose a brush tip:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Size.
2 Click the Brush Tip Profile that
you want to use.
Size
The Size slider controls the width of
the brush and the brush stroke.
The Size slider controls the width of the brush.
As Size changes, you might need to
adjust the Spacing controls for
brushes that use non-rendered or dab-
based dab types, because gaps might
appear in the stroke.
To set brush size in the Stroke
Designer:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Size.
2 Move the Size slider right to make
the brush larger. Move it left to
make the brush smaller.

“Using the Property Bar” on page 14.

+ Shift (Mac OS) or Ctrl + Alt +
Shift (Windows) and drag in the
image window.
A circle that represents the brush
diameter appears beneath the
cursor.
