Palette | Description |
Brush Variance | Lets you set additional brush options when you use a paint brush or any other raster painting tool. This palette is particularly useful when you use a pressure-sensitive tablet or a four-dimensional mouse. For example, you can vary the opacity of a brushstroke by applying pressure with the stylus. Some options also work well with a mouse. |
