left then shows available nuances. Click the desired color. It is then shown in Current.
If that color is not what you want, try again.
The arrow button to the right of Current enables saving a number of possible colors.
Click the arrow to copy the current color to the history. A color can then be selected
by clicking it in the history. A color can also be selected by directly entering its hex-
adecimal color code in HTML Notation.
The color selector defaults to selecting a color by hue, which is usually easiest for a
new user. To select by saturation, value, red, green, or blue, select the corresponding
radio button to the right. The sliders and number fields can also be used to modify the
currently selected color. Experiment a bit to find out what works best for you.
When the desired color is shown in Current, click OK. To restore the original values
shown when the dialog was opened, click Reset. To abort changing the color, click
Cancel.
To select a color that already exists in your image, use the color picker tool, the icon
for which resembles an eye dropper. With the tool options, set whether the foreground
or background color should be selected. Then click a point in the image that shows the
desired color. When the color is right, click Close to close the tool's dialog.
Painting and Erasing
To paint and erase, use the tools from the toolbox. There are a number of options
available to fine-tune each tool. Pressure sensitivity options apply only when a pressure-
sensitive graphics tablet is used.
The pencil, brush, airbrush, and eraser work much like their real-life equivalents. The
ink tool works like a calligraphy pen. Paint by clicking and dragging. The bucket fill
is a method of coloring areas of an image. It fills based on color boundaries in the image.
Adjusting the threshold modifies its sensitivity to color changes.
Adding Text
With the text tool, easily add text to an image. With the tool options, select the desired
font, font size, color, justification, indent, and line spacing. Then click a starting point
in the image. A small dialog opens in which to enter your text. Enter single or multiple
lines of text then press Close.
