Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium What’s New
Use the Mixer Brush tool to fill a single brush with multiple paint
colors, and then blend the paint colors with the underlying canvas
colors to achieve results that rival traditional painting media. Or
use a dry brush to blend a photograph’s colors and produce
beautiful painterly results. Fine-tune your work by controlling
how wet the canvas is, whether and how quickly the brush refills
or cleans after each brush stroke, and the mixing proportions of
paint color to canvas color. Photoshop CS5 also provides
unprecedented control over brush qualities such as shape, length,
thickness, stiffness, and angle. For example, you can specify a
round, curved brush tip with long, fine, flexible bristles, or a flat,
blunt brush tip with short, thick, stiff bristles. Use the Live Tip
Preview to view a dynamic representation of the brush tip as you
paint, and save your favorite brush tips for future use.
Whether or not you’ve ever wielded a real-world paintbrush and
mixed watercolors, acrylics, or oils, you’ll appreciate the promise
of painting freely and naturally in Photoshop CS5.
With a variety of brush presets and seings for brush properties (above le
and le), you can create an expressive image (below). e Bristle Brush
Preview (right) provides dynamic feedback as you paint.
With the Mixer Brush tool, you can transform a photographic original into an expressive painting. (Original photograph, le; Mixer Brush layer, center; nished artwork, right.)
