The Brush Creator166
The Resaturation slider controls the amount of
color replenished in the stroke. Top=25%,
bottom=100%.
To set resaturation:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Well.
2 Move the Resaturation slider left to
reduce the amount of color
replenished in a stroke. Move it
right to increase the amount of
color.
Bleed
The Bleed slider controls how much
the brush colors smear underlying
colors—including the paper color.
When Bleed is higher than
resaturation, more color bleeds than
covers, so the stroke will never reach
full Opacity.
The Bleed slider controls the amount of
underlying color mixed in with the selected
color. Top=55%, bottom=1%.
To set color bleed:
1 On the Stroke Designer page of
the Brush Creator, click Well.
2 Move the Bleed slider left to
reduce the amount of interaction
with underlying pixels. Move it
right to increase interaction.
Dryout
The Dryout control determines how
quickly a brush runs out of medium.
Dryout is measured in pixels. Moving
the slider to the left makes a brush’s
reservoir empty more quickly. This
can lead to brush strokes that fade out
gently. If the Dryout control is set
high, the brush never runs out of
color.
Dryout works in conjunction with
Bleed, so Bleed must be above zero to
take advantage of Dryout. You can
modulate the Dryout effect by
changing the Bleed setting.
