    Contiguous  Limit replaces the colour of neighbouring  pixels containing  the sampled  colour.
                      Discontiguous Limit replaces the colour of the pixels containing the sampled colour, whether or not
                      they are close by. Tolerance refers to a range of colours. A high tolerance lets you replace a broad
                      range of colours. A low tolerance limits the replacement of colour to only areas that are similar to the
                      sampled colour. Anti-aliasing softens and smoothens the edge of the sampled areas slightly.

                           Mixer Brush Tool

                      Mixer Brush Tool lets you paint in Photoshop as if you are painting on a real canvas. It lets you pick
                      colour from the canvas. That is why it is also known as a realistic painting technique which mixes
                      colours on the canvas, combines colours on a brush and wetness across a stroke. It gives sober bristle
                      effects and textures that resemble those in paintings that you might create on a canvas. It mixes
                      with the colour in the background and with the canvas itself. It converts photos into artwork without
                      applying filters, etc.
