<li class="stepexpand"><span>Specify a brush color by doing one of the following:</span><ul><li><p>Select the Eyedropper tool and click a
color in the preview image.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Click the Brush Color box to open the Color Picker
to select a color. </p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the tool options area, set the Diameter (brush size),
Hardness (the amount of anti-aliasing on the brush), and Opacity
(the degree that the painting obscures or reveals the image beneath
it).</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Choose a Healing mode: </span><ul><li><p>To paint without blending with the color,
lighting, and shading of the surrounding pixels, choose Off.</p>
</li>
<li><p>To paint and blend the strokes with the lighting
of the surrounding pixels while retaining the selected color, choose
Luminance.</p>
</li>
<li><p>To paint and blend with the colors, lighting, and
shading of the surrounding pixels, choose On.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>(Optional) Specify the paint application options:</span><ul><li><p>To paint continuously, automatically conforming
to the perspective from one plane to another, open the Vanishing
Point menu and choose Allow Multi-Surface Operations. Turning this
option off lets you paint in the perspective of one plane at a time.
You need to stop and then start painting in a different plane to
switch perspective.</p>
</li>
<li><p>To confine painting to the active plane only, open
the Vanishing Point menu and choose Clip Operations To Surface Edges.
Turning this option off lets you paint in perspective beyond the
boundaries of the active plane. </p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Drag in the image to paint. When painting in a plane,
the brush size and shape scales and orients properly to the plane’s
perspective. Shift-drag constrains the stroke to a straight line
that conforms to the plane’s perspective. You can also click a point
with the Brush tool and then Shift-click another point to paint a
straight line in perspective.</span> <div class="tip"><img src="images/tip_help.png" />The Brush tool honors marquee selections
and can be used to paint a hard line along the edge of the selection.
For example, if you select an entire plane, you can paint a line
along the perimeter of the plane.</div></li>
