The Tear Tool creates many types of tear or droplet shapes quickly and easily.
Customisation
The Tear Tool has several options on the shape and on the context toolbar to enable the ball size, curve, tail position and bend to be controlled.
Settings
The following settings can be adjusted using a vertical tool slider:
Width—controls the width of the line using a vertical slider next to the tool's location. Slide up or down to set the width.
The following settings can be adjusted from the context toolbar:
Keep selected—when enabled (default), the new shape layer will be selected on creation. When disabled, the new object is deselected which prevents it from adopting the next object’s stroke/fill properties.
Curve—controls the curvature of the edges which connect the elliptical end of the shape to the point.
Tail Position—controls the position of the point of the shape from left (0%) to right (100%), with 50% representing a central point.
Bend—controls additional edge curvature (see Curve above). Positive values curve both edges to the right, negative values curve both edges to the left.
Convert to Curves—converts the selected object into a series of connected lines and nodes.
