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 colour. 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 colours
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 colour 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 colour in the
image. Flow slider determines how quickly the Brush Tool applies the
colour. You can also select foreground color i.e., the colour in the upper
box, and background color i.e., the colour in the lower box.
Here, the foreground colour blue and the background colour is white. Brush Preset Picker
