Orientation Specifies the direction of the brush strokes.
• Value : Let the Value (luminosity) of the region determine the direction of the stroke.
• Radius : The distance from the center of the image determines the direction of the stroke.
• Random : Select a random direction for each stroke.
• Radial : Let the direction from the center determine the direction of the stroke.
• Flowing : Not a direction question here: the strokes follow a "flowing" pattern.
• Hue : Let the hue of the region determine the direction of the stroke.
• Adaptive : The brush direction that matches the original image the closest is selected.
• Manual : The Edit button opens the Edit orientation Map dialog that allows you to set the directions manually.
Size tab
Figure 15.185: ‘Size’ tab options
This tab allows you to set the number of brush sizes that will be used to paint, the limits of variation of these sizes and the
criterion used to determine them.
Three Sliders You can specify how many brush sizes are to be used and their sizes.
• Sizes: The number of brush sizes to use.
• Minimum Size and Maximum Size : The brush sizes are between these two values. Greater the size, greater the
length and width of strokes.
Sizes You have there options to specify how the size of strokes will be determined.
• Value: Let the Value (luminosity) of the region determine the size of the stroke.
• Radius : The distance from the center of the image determines the size of the stroke.
• Random : Select a random size for each stroke.
• Radial : Let the direction from the center determine the size of the stroke.
• Flowing : Not a length question here: the strokes follow a "flowing" pattern.
• Hue : Let the hue of the region determine the size of the stroke.
• Adaptive : The brush size that matches the original image the closest is selected.
• Manual : The Edit button opens the Size Map Editor. That allows you to specify the size of strokes by yourself.
