To draw with the Picture Brush:
1. From the Tools toolbar's Brush Tools flyout, select the Picture
Brush Tool.
2. On the Brush Tip tab, pick a brush tip from one of the categories.
To control image elements, right-click a brush from any Brush Tip tab
category, and choose Brush Options.
3. From the context toolbar, set the opacity and size of the image elements
produced by using the Opacity and Diameter option. For pen tablet users,
check stylus Size and/or Opacity to make these brush properties respond
to your pressure device.
4. To "stamp" single images at specific points, click in various places on your
canvas. To spray a continuous line of images, drag a path across the page.
If you right-click on any gallery sample, you can manage categories, and access
brush options.
Creating custom picture brushes
Each picture brush has its own stored master image with image elements
arranged in rows and columns. To define a picture brush, you first create a new
master image and then choose New Brush via right-click in a user-defined
category in the Brush Tip tab. (For details, see PhotoPlus Help.)
