Painting and Drawing 79<br />

Note that this isn't an absolute setting, but a relative one. Each picture brush stores<br />

its own pre-defined elements, and this scaling determines how the tool scales<br />

elements up or down when drawing. The actual size of stored elements varies<br />

between brushes, so you may need to adjust the image diameter when switching<br />

between different brushes.<br />

To control image elements, right-click a brush sample from any Brush Tip tab<br />

category, and choose Brush Options.... Adjust Spacing to determine how closely<br />

elements are packed together, or set the Order to present elements Randomly,<br />

Sequentially (as per the preset thumbnail) or By direction (according to stroke).<br />

To import a Paint Shop Pro picture tube file:<br />

1. On the Brush Tip tab, right-click any brush tip from any category and choose<br />

Import....<br />

2. Use the dialog to browse for and select the picture tube (.TUB) file to import.<br />

If you right-click on any gallery sample, you can manage categories, and access<br />

brush options. With a bit of forethought, it’s not difficult to lay out your own<br />

master images and from them create your own custom Picture Brush tips. (For<br />

details, see online help.)
