Working with brushes : Choosing brushes
 
Choosing brushes
You can choose from the following brush tools:
Paint Brush — creates strokes of color that simulate strokes from an artist’s paintbrush. Brushstrokes can have hard or soft edges. The Paint Brush is a multipurpose tool that can be used to edit an image by applying color to areas as small as a single pixel. This tool can be used to adjust transparency in specific areas or to create a selection. For more information, see To create a selection by using a Painting tool.
Airbrush — simulates an airbrush or spray can. The longer you apply the brush to an area, the more pronounced the effect becomes.
Warp Brush — produces a warping effect on image pixels. You can twirl areas of the image, contract or expand parts of the image, and create other interesting effects. For more information, see Warping images.
Picture Tube — lets you paint with a collection of preset objects. For example, you can add butterflies and beetles to a picnic setting, fill an aquarium with fish, or frame a picture with holly. You can use the picture tubes included with Corel PaintShop Pro or create your own. For more information, see Using the Picture Tube tool.
Eraser — causes pixels to become transparent. For more information, see Erasing image areas.
Background Eraser — erases pixels selectively. For more information, see Erasing image areas.
Clone Brush — lets you edit your image by using parts of the image, or parts of another image, as a paint source. For more information, see Removing flaws and objects with the Clone Brush or Object Remover.
Color Replacer — replaces a color in a selection or layer with another color. For more information, see Replacing colors, gradients, or patterns.
Retouch Brushes — let you retouch images. Some retouch brushes mimic photographic effects. Others change pixels based on lightness, saturation, hue, or color values. Some retouch brushes are similar to color correction commands in the effects they produce.
