Drawing tools
Whithin Photonyx you can currently switch between three drawing tools :
To switch between these three painting tools :
- Alt-click on the currently selected drawing tool in the toolbar or
press D until you select the tool you want.
- Using any of the drawing tools there is an easy way to draw straight
lines using a keyboard shortcut (Shift).
Using the paintbrush you can paint any kind of stroke from the most
hard-edged to the softest ones.
Paintbrush options palette
The airbrush is like the paintbrush tool. Use it to paint soft strokes. The
only difference is that without moving when you keep your mouse-button pressed the area
you fill seem to expand. This effect is alos visible when you apply color with this tool
very slowly.
Airbrush options palette
Similar to the brush tool the pen allows you to draws hard-edged strokes on
an image. There is nothing more on this tool except a constraint : you can only use 100 %
hard-edged brushes. This is useful while you simply know that when you select this tool
you won't get any feathered stroke.
Pencil Options palette
One of the
greatest advangages of Photonyx is that you can at any time customize the brush size and
shape for any of your the current brush associated with the paint tools. To do that modify
the brush settings at any time in the Brush Editor
Palette.
