Painting opacity<br />

Painting opacity affects the intensity of painting. Adjust this setting in the Properties bar for the<br />

following painting tools: Eraser, Marker, Paintbrush, Bucket, Blend, and Rubber Stamp.<br />

For the other painting tools, Opacity is replaced by either Pressure, Glow, or Exposure.<br />

Painting opacity can be set from 1 to 100%. Higher opacity makes the color more opaque. Lower<br />

opacity makes color appear more transparent. Painting opacity works with painting modes (see<br />

"Painting modes" on page 424). If you use the Paintbrush tool to apply black at 100% opacity in<br />

Normal mode, black replaces the original color wherever you paint. At 50% opacity, the strength of<br />

the black is reduced, so it mixes with the underlying color. If you also use a different painting mode,<br />

the strength of the mode’s effect is reduced.<br />

To quickly change the opacity setting, you can press a number key; “1” equals 10%, “2”<br />

equals 20%, “3” equals 30%, etc. “0” equals a setting of 100%.<br />
