Working with Brushed Adjustment Overlays
Overlays are useful tools for identifying where brush strokes for the selected brushed adjustment
have been applied to the image. When you’ve brushed an adjustment with a subtle softness
and strength over the image, it can be dicult to discern the boundaries of the brush strokes.
Aperture provides several types of overlays to help you visually identify the selected brushed
adjustment’s cumulative brush strokes. When you accurately identify the boundaries of a brush
stroke, you can use the eraser brush to remove any parts of the brush stroke that don’t belong,
and you can use the feathering brush to smooth out the edges. For more information, see
Applying Brushed Adjustments on page 392 and Working with Brush Strokes on page 396.

you with detailed brushing:
