sections with an overall softness. By holding
down Option + Shift (Mac OS), or Alt +
Shift (Windows), you can reverse the spray
direction when you paint.
Rendered Creates brushes that conform the source to a
stroke. Use the Source pop-up menu to
control what is mapped into the computed

“Source, Opacity, and Grain Settings” on
page 215.
