Painting and drawing with the Art Media tools 627
• Head Loading — defines the percentage of material on the brush
at the start of the stroke
• Auto Clean check box — cleans the tool and dips it into fresh
paint at the start of a new stroke
• Clean button — cleans the head and start the next stroke with
fresh paint or pigment.
This button is only active when the Auto Clean check box is not
marked.
• Trace check box — allows the Palette Knife tool to select the
pigment or paint color by sampling the data below the center of
the tool regardless of the layer type.
Important! When you hold down the mouse button to begin the
stroke, note that a single sample is performed and the resulting
color is used for the duration of the stroke.
Using the Smear tool
The Smear tool lets you smear existing pigment, including pigment
that has no volume on the canvas, such as pencil strokes. The tool
simulates the effects of dragging a cloth or finger through chalk or
pencil strokes on a canvas.
You can use the Smear tool to create a smudging effect on dry
pigment, or to create a smearing effect on wet pigment.
