Now you'll paint arcs of four different colors over
the bell of the French horn. The first color is white,
which you'll select through the toolbox color
selection box. This box sets the foreground color,
the color you paint with, and the background
color, the color used when you erase part of an
image. The default colors are black for foreground
and white for background.
Click the switch colors icon ( ) in the upper
3
right corner of the color selection box to make the
foregound color white.
Paint a white arc over the bell of the French
4
horn.
You can use the eyedropper tool to select
additional colors by sampling (copying) them
from artwork in the image. You'll use a keyboard
shortcut to access the eyedropper when selecting
colors for the next three arcs.
5 Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS)
to temporarily change from the paintbrush tool to
the eyedropper tool ( ). Then click a yellow note
in the image. The foreground color in the color
selection box switches to the same yellow as in the
note, indicating that you can now paint with this
color.
Release the Alt/Option key, change the opacity
6
in the Options palette to 80%, and paint a yellow
arc just above the first white arc.
7 Now hold down Alt/Option, and click a red note
to change the foreground color to red. Release the
Alt/Option key, change the opacity in the Options
palette to 60%, and paint a red arc above the
yellow arc.
8 Repeat the process but this time sample the
foreground color from a green note, change the
opacity to 40%, and paint a green arc.
Next you'll use the History palette to remove the
paint you just applied. The History palette records
changes you make to the image and lets you step
back through recent changes. Using this palette,
you can return to an earlier version of the image
and continue working from that point.
To display the History palette, choose Window>
9
Show History.
Click Fade Angled Strokes in the history list.
10
The image reverts to the way it looked right after
you applied the Fade Angled Strokes filter.
