Altering brush width and opacity with pressure
For subtle brush pressure control, DrawPlus can vary the extent to which pen
pressure can alter a brush’s original width and opacity. This is expressed as a
percentage of the original brush Width and Opacity values shown in the
Brushes context toolbar. Imagine the end of your brush stroke tapering off or
getting fainter as it lifts off the page—the concept is simple!
