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.
