Impasto controls
The Impasto brush controls let you modify and create brush variants that give the illusion of depth. The
controls allow you to choose different methods for applying and controlling the appearance of depth. For
more information, see “Impasto” on page 501 and “Adjusting and creating Impasto brushes” on page
503.
Some Impasto controls work in conjunction with Expression settings. For more information, see
“Expression settings” on page 327.
Digital Watercolor controls
Digital Watercolor controls let you create effects similar to those of watercolor brushes without requiring a
separate layer.
You can use Diffusion to create soft, feathery edges on the brushstrokes.
Wet Fringe controls the amount of pooling of water and paint at the edges of Digital Watercolor
brushstrokes. For more information about wet fringe, see “Working with Digital Watercolor brushes” on
page 428.
Water controls
Water controls work with Watercolor layers. A Watercolor layer is automatically created when you apply a
stroke with a Watercolor brush. The layer can be edited from the Layers panel.
Wetness controls the dilution and the spread of paint. As Wetness is increased, the resulting stroke
expands over a larger area, eliminating the appearance of brush hairs.
Brushstrokes with Wetness set to 0 (top) and 40 (bottom)
