The Resaturation slider controls the amount of color that is replenished in a stroke. If it
is set at zero, the brush does not produce any color. When Resaturation is less than
10% (and Bleed is less), a brush stroke fades in gently. When the Resaturation slider is
set at zero and Bleed is set high, an airbrush can move underlying colors, as when just
the airbrush hose is used to blow paint around on the canvas.
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 never reaches full Opacity.
The Bleed slider controls the amount of underlying color mixed in with
the selected color. Settings shown are 55% (left) and 1% (right).
The Resaturation slider controls the amount of color replenished in
the stroke. Settings shown are 25% (top) and 100% (bottom).
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 produce brush strokes that fade out gently. If Dryout is set high, the
brush never runs out of color.
