| Clicking the Texture tab on the Left of the Brushes palette exposes the Texture and Pattern controls. |
 |
| Choosing a Texture |
| Once activated, the Pattern preview window becomes available and Active. Click the Downward triangle to the Right of it to Open the pattern Library. Now, simply click on a pattern to apply to the brush. |
 |
| The Scale slider adjusts Size of the Pattern to be applied to the brush. The below examples uses a Soft Round 60 pixels brush set at 50% Spacing (Brush Tip Shape) pane. |
 |
| Now, let's turn on the Texture controls and add some Scaling effects. With the Depth slider at 100%, look at what happens to the Stroke with the Scaling slider adjusted to 25%, 50% and 100%. |
 |
Invert
box Inverts the Pattern. (A complete reversal can at times have
dramatic effects!) |
 |
Depth
slider is used to regulate Depth to Pattern. (Inverted with Slider
at 100% and 75%.) |
 |
| Mode Drop down |
| The Blending Mode options offer differences in the way Color interacts in the brush. Click here for specific definitions to it's available choices. |
 |
| Here are some samples to illustrate what can be accomplished using the various Blend Modes in combination with the Depth slider. These brushes presented by permission from Stephanie Shimerdla. You can click the link here to pick up the set at http://www.obsidiandawn.com |
 |
| Texture Each Tip |
| Checking this box applies the Pattern individually to each instance of the brush. Unchecked, it will apply the Pattern to the brush as a whole. |
 |
| With the Texture Each Tip box checked, you will notice that the rest of the controls to the pane become active such as Minimum Depth and Depth Jitter. |
| Minimum Depth can be used to fine tune the Depth slider, while Depth Jitter like All Jitters add a Randomizing effect. |
