Artistic Spray

Artistic Spray simulates spray painting on an image. The brush does not apply paint in a continuous line, but rather in raised drops, scattered along the stroke. Press A to quickly access this brush.

The tool's parameters will be shown in a floating box over an image (by right-clicking the mouse) and also in the Settings Panel.

To change a parameter's setting, enter a numerical value in its box and press Enter (Macintosh: Return) or move the slider.

• Size (1-300). The maximum width of a line applied by the brush (in pixels).
• Drop Density (1-100). The density of drops in the total area of a stroke. At higher value more drops are applied in a stroke.

  Drop Density = 10	Drop Density = 55

• Drop Size (1-50). The diameter of individual dots. Larger dots will merge, forming strangely shaped line with irregular edges.

  Air Bubbles in an Aquarium
  Drop Size = 6	Drop Size = 20

Paint color is set in the Color/Swatches palettes. To choose a different color bring the cursor over the spectral bar (the cursor will take the shape of a pipette) and click on the desired color or double-click on the square and choose a color from the Select Color dialog. In some cases, selecting a color is more convenient than manually selecting the components of a color via the sliders.
