Customizing Paint Tools
In addition to making basic customizations on the Attribute Toolbar,
PhotoImpact gives you other options for fine-tuning Paint Tools in order to get the
exact painting effect that you want. You can also save your customizations to
create your personal collection of tools.
Using Paint Tool presets
Each Paint Tool comes with a set of useful presets that you can use to paint your
image. To choose a preset, first select a specific Paint Tool, and then choose a
preset from the Preset menu on the Attribute Toolbar. Once you have chosen a
tool, you can use it as is, or you can further specify its characteristics on the
Attribute Toolbar or in the Tool Settings panel.
Note: When you modify any attributes of a preset, the Preset menu automatically
switches to show None.
Using the Tool Settings panel
The Tool Settings panel conveniently puts all paint and editing tool attributes in
one place, and gives you more advanced options for customizing individual tools as
well. To hide or display the Tool Settings panel, click Show or hide Tool Settings
on the Attribute Toolbar.
The various tabs contain different options, depending on which tool you select. Two
of the groups that most tools have in common are the Shape group, which lets
you fine-tune the Paint Tools right down to their bristles, and the Color group,
which gives you the choice of working with single or multiple colors when painting.
Square, round, and flat angled
brush shapes.
