Under this tab you can modify the color of the brush with the various settings.
The Color Palette Most of the Color settings uses the actual color value from the Color Palette
Color Source
The three settings are:
Color Picker The Brush color determined by the actual color you have selected with the round Color Palette. If there's texture then the texture will be cleared with the actual color. Only the contours will remain.
Original Colors of texture If your Brush made of textures then the color will be the same as the textures.
If there's no texture then the previous, Color Picker setting will be used.
Tint If your Brush made of textures then the colors of the textures will be tinted by the actually selected color of the Color Palette. The luminosity information won't changes of the textures.
If there's no texture then the previous, Color Picker setting will be used.
A color source example (left to right):
Textured brush with Color Picker source, the actual color is red
Textured brush with Original Colors of texture
Textured brush with Tint, the actual color is blue
Textured brush with Tint, the actual color is red
Textured brush with Tint, the actual color is yellow
Base Color Jitter
The base color is the color you have selected with the Color Palette. Because in a natural painting you can never paint EXACTLY the same as with computer you have the ability to randomize the base color at every painting when you press the left button of the mouse.
The normal way, alway the same. Boring and artifical:
The more natural way, always differs depends on the settings:
(you can set very different from the actual color with high settings, or almost the same as the actual color with low settings)
Color Jitter
Color Jitter similar to Base Color Jitter except it randomizes not only the base color but every dot of the brush.
The normal way, alway the same. Boring and artifical:
The more natural way, every dot differs depends on the settings:
(you can set very different from the actual color with high settings, or almost the same as the actual color with low settings)
Color Pressure Control
This feature modifies the color of every dot in the brush by the pressure of your painting tablet.
Blending
Blending specifies how the painting engine combines the brushdots with each other. This is very similar to the layer blending modes.
If Normal Blending is checked you'll get the well known default normal blending mode. Nothing special:
Uncheck the Normal Blending checkbox and select the blending mode you wish to use. Here you can see the Multiply Blending mode. Every time the paint gets darker as you paint onto the same area:
