Dodge Brush Tool

Settings

The following settings can be adjusted from the context toolbar:

• Width—the brush (stroke) size in pixels.
• Opacity—how see through the brush is.
• Flow—how fast the pixel brush effect is applied (1% is very slow, 100% is immediate).
• Hardness—how hard the edges of the brush are. The brush appears softer as the percentage decreases.
• More—tap to display the Brushes dialog to access advanced brush settings.
• Range—limits the effect to a specific tonal range. Choose Shadows, Midtones or Highlights from the pop-up menu.
• Protect Hue—when selected, the colour tone remains faithful to the original hue.
• Force Pressure—Toggle to control brush size with pressure if using a pressure-sensitive device. This overrides brush defaults.
• 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.
• Lines—with symmetry enabled, defines the number of axes around which the brush stroke will be repeated.
• Locked—when enabled, prevents the symmetry line from being moved.
