Working with brushes
Brush tools offer countless ways to work creatively with your images.
For example, you can apply soft- or hard-edged brushstrokes of any
color or material, paint with another image as a source, retouch
images to correct colors or contrast, replace colors, or paint with
picture tubes. You can also erase pixels by making them transparent.
Brush tools work only on raster layers, and they produce the best
results when applied to grayscale or 16 million–color images. They are
less effective when applied to images of other color depths.
You can also work with painting tools within a selection so that only
the selected pixels are affected. For more information about making
selections, see “Working with selections” on page 291.
