PAINTING TOOLS

            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 an image.
            You can see several brush preset samples available in the Brush Preset Picker.

            You can also adjust the flow of the color on the screen with the help of different Modes available
            in the Options bar. The Opacity slider in the Options bar controls the intensity of the colour in
            the image. Flow determines how quickly the Brush Tool applies the colour. To use the Brush tool,
            follow the given steps:


                                      2  Click on the drop-down arrow
                                     on the Brush Preset Picker.
