PAINTING TOOLS


                  Painting tools are used to change the area of the canvas or image by adding paint strokes or
                  filling the areas with colours. Photoshop provides different types of painting tools. Let’s learn
                  about them.


                  BRUSH TOOL

                  A Brush Tool is a traditional painting tool that 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 colours 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 color in the

                  image. Flow determines how quickly the Brush Tool applies the color. To use the Brush Tool, follow
                  the given steps:


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

                  CHANGING FOREGROUND AND BACKGROUND COLOUR
                  In Photoshop, we can change the appearance of an image by changing the colours. Photoshop

                  allows us to set a foreground and background colour.
