PAINTING TOOLS
A painting tools are used to change the area of the canvas or image by adding paint strokes or filling
the areas with color. Photoshop provides different types of painting tools. Let’s learn about them.
Brush Tool
Brush Tool is a traditional painting tool which is used to apply
colors with strokes on the image. You can see several brush presets
samples available in the Brush Preset Picker in the Options bar.
While selecting the brush tip/presets, it also allows you to modify the
size and hardness of the brush. You can also adjust the flow of the
color on the screen with the help of different Modes available in the
Options bar. Opacity slider in the Options bar controls the thickness
of the color in the image. Flow determines how quickly the Brush Tool
applies the color. You can also select foreground color i.e., the color
in the upper box, and background color i.e., the color in the lower
box. Brush Preset Picker
