Customizing Brushes 231
Dryout works in conjunction with Bleed, so Bleed must be set above zero if you want
to take advantage of Dryout. You can modulate the Dryout effect by changing the
Bleed setting.
The Dryout slider controls how fast the brush runs out of
medium. Settings shown are 724 (left) and 22026 (right).
To set resaturation
1 On the Stroke Designer page of the Brush Creator, click Well.
2 Move the Resaturation slider to the left to reduce the amount of color replenished
in a stroke. Move it to the right to increase the amount of color.
To set color bleed
1 On the Stroke Designer page of the Brush Creator, click Well.
2 Move the Bleed slider to the left to reduce the amount of interaction with
underlying pixels. Move it to the right to increase the interaction.
To set brush dryout
1 On the Stroke Designer page of the Brush Creator, click Well.
2 Move the Dryout slider to the left to shorten the distance the brush can move
before it dries out. Move it to the right to lengthen the distance.
Rake Controls
The Rake controls lets you control the sophisticated features of a Rake stroke, which
maintains the angle of the brush head as the stroke changes direction. As the brush
turns, bristles come in and out of contact with the painting surface.
