Location Specifies whether to place the outline inside, outside, or centered over the selection or layer boundaries. Mode Specifies how the paint that you apply blends with the existing pixels in the image. Opacity Sets the opacity of the paint you apply. Enter an opacity value or click on the arrow and drag the pop-up slider. Preserve Transparency Strokes only areas containing opaque pixels on a layer. If your image has no transparency, this option isn’t available.

USING PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 9 Painting 239 To customize your images, or to make one-of-a-kind scrapbook pages, you can create your own patterns. You can save patterns that you create in a library, and then load libraries of patterns using the Preset Manager or the Pattern pop-up panel, which appears in the options bar of the Pattern Stamp tool and the Paint Bucket tool.

New image filled with custom pattern More Help topics “Fill a layer with a color or pattern” on page 237 “Use the Preset Manager” on page 246 Use the Pattern Stamp tool The Pattern Stamp tool paints with a pattern defined from your image, another image, or a preset pattern. 1 In the Edit workspace, select the Pattern Stamp tool from the toolbox. (If you don’t see it in the toolbox, select the Clone Stamp tool , and then click the Pattern Stamp tool icon in the options bar.) 2 Choose a pattern from the Pattern pop-up panel in the options bar. To load additional pattern libraries, select a library name from the panel menu, or choose Load Patterns and navigate to the folder where the library is stored. You can also define your own pattern. 3 Set Pattern Stamp tool options in the options bar, as desired, and then drag within the image to paint. You can specify any of the following Pattern Stamp tool options: Brushes Sets the brush tip. Click the arrow next to the brush sample, choose a brush category from the Brushes pop-up menu, and then select a brush thumbnail. Size Sets the size of the brush in pixels. Drag the Size pop-up slider or enter a size in the text box. Mode Specifies how the paint that you apply blends with the existing pixels in the image. (See “About blending modes” on page 219.) Opacity Sets the opacity of the pattern you apply. A low opacity setting allows pixels under a pattern stroke to show through. Drag the pop-up slider or enter an opacity value. Aligned Repeats the pattern as a contiguous, uniform design. The pattern is aligned from one paint stroke to the next. If Aligned is deselected, the pattern is centered on the pointer each time you stop and resume painting. Impressionist Paints the pattern using paint daubs to create an impressionist effect.
