Figure 7.7 shows an example of the same brush and paint with Wet Edgeson and off. Paint builds up at the edges of your brush, and, as long as you are holding the mouse down and painting, the paint stays "wet."In other words, you can paint over your previous strokes without building up additional layers of color. If, however, you release the mousebutton and begin to paint again, you will be adding a new layer of paint, which creates an entirely new effect. Notice the overlappedstrokes in the figure.Figure 7.7. The Wet Edges effect darkens the edge of a stroke and makes the middle somewhattranslucent.Setting Brush DynamicsIf you use a graphics tablet and stylus, you can get the same sort of fade-out effect that you'd get in the real world by easing off thepressure on a brush or pencil. You have five options for each of these settings: Off, Fade, Pen Pressure, Pen Tilt, and Stylus Wheel.Figure 7.8 shows the Color Dynamics pane of the Brushes palette and some sample strokes with the dynamics on.Figure 7.8. Each line is one brush stroke with different settings applied.[View full size image]
