Setting Color Variability
Color variability can be set according
to HSV or RGB mode, and it can be
based on the current gradient or color
set.
To set color variability:
1 On the Colors palette, choose a
primary color from the standard or
small Color picker.
2 Choose Window menu > Show
Color Variability
to display the
Color Variability palette.
3 Choose In HSV from the pop-up
menu.
4 Adjust the Hue, Saturation, and
Value sliders to control hue,
saturation, and value ranges for
color variability.
• Move the ±Hue slider to the
right to increase the number of
hues in the resulting brush
stroke. These colors are the
ones adjacent to the selected
color on the color wheel.
• Move the ±Saturation slider to
the right to increase variability
in the color intensity of the
brush stroke.
• Move the ±Value slider to the
right to increase variability in
the brightness of the brush
stroke.
You can try different ±HSV
settings with any of the brushes to
get interesting results.
Note
•
When you save a brush variant, the
current color variability setting is also
saved.
Tip
•
When working with brushes like the
Loaded Oils brush or the Van Gogh and
Seurat variants of the Artists brush,
moving these sliders to the right can add
natural, almost 3D-looking effects to your
Web page images.
