Tips & Tricks Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Chapter2 Painting a Photograph

The brushes in Photoshop 7.0 also support Wacom Intuos2's Tilt functions. Here is how to set your brushes in order to maximize the Tilt effects.


1. Setting the brush shape.
Select a brush from the Brush Presets in the Options bar.
Open the Brush palette, and adjust the following settings.
 Brush Tip Set
Diameter : 70 - 80 px.
 Shape Dynamics
Size Jitter : 40%, in order to fade the brush a little bit,
Control : select Pen Tilt to make the Pen Tip work as an edge of a brush.
Minimum Diameter : 1%, in order to make the edge of the brush very thin.

RETURN
2. Setting the Brush Opacity and Flow
Continue setting the color for the brush in the Brush palette.
 Other Dynamics
Opacity Jitter : 60%
Flow Jitter : 25% --- These settings give unevenness in the color.
Control : Pen Pressure --- This enables color control by pen pressure.
After adjusting the brush, set for ToolPreset.

RETURN
3. Start painting
Keep the tilt angle low, and as you add more pen pressure, the thickness of the brush will go up to 200% of the original brush size. On the other hand, as you adjust the angle more vertically, and add only little pen pressure, the brush size will become very thin.
LEFT : Vertically with pen pressure
RIGHT : Horizontally with pen pressure
Also, the darkness of the color can be controlled by pen pressure.
LOW ------> HIGH
By using these features,
a beautiful work of art can be created very easily.
