Paint Mixer Brush ToolThe Paint Mixer Brush is ideal for digitally simulating the mixing of wet paint applied to a canvas. As you drag the Paint Mixer Brush across the page, the colour currently on the brush blends with the colour on the page, smudging and mixing them together.
The following settings can be adjusted using vertical tool sliders:
Width—controls the width of the stroke using a vertical slider next to the tool's location. Slide up or down to set the width.
Flow—how fast the brush effect is applied (1% is very slow, 100% is immediate).
Strength—defines the extent to the smudging.The following settings can be adjusted from the context toolbar:
Force Pressure—tap to control brush size with pressure if using a pressure-sensitive device. This overrides brush defaults.
Load Brush—removes the mixed colour currently on the brush and replaces it with the Colour 1 swatch colour set in the Colour panel.
Auto Load Brush—when selected, each new stroke will automatically Load Brush as described above before pixels are applied to the page.
Clean Brush—removes the mixed colour currently on the brush, leaving a brush with no initial colour applied to it.
Auto Clean Brush—when selected, each new stroke will automatically Clean Brush as described above before pixels are applied to the page.
Symmetry—when the Lines setting is set to greater than 0, repeats the brush stroke around a number of axes (defined by the value). The centre axis point can be repositioned by dragging it.
Mirror—with symmetry enabled, causes brush strokes to be mirrored along the X and Y axis.
Locked—when enabled, prevents the symmetry line from being moved.
