the pattern sample, and select a pattern from the pop‑up panel.
Set one or more of the following options:</p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Invert</dt>
<dd>Inverts the high and low points in the texture based on the
tones in the pattern. When Invert is selected, the lightest areas
in the pattern are the low points in the texture and therefore receive
the least paint; the darkest areas in the pattern are the high points
in the texture and therefore receive the most paint. When Invert
is deselected, the lightest areas in the pattern receive the most paint;
the darkest areas in the pattern receive the least paint.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Scale</dt>
<dd>Specifies the scale of the pattern. Type a number, or use
the slider to enter a value that is a percentage of the pattern
size.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Texture Each Tip</dt>
<dd> Applies the selected texture individually to each brush
mark in a brush stroke, rather than to the brush stroke as a whole
(a brush stroke is made up of many brush marks, applied continuously
as you drag the brush). You must select this option to make the
Depth variance options available.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Mode</dt>
<dd>Specifies the blending mode used to combine the brush and
the pattern. (See <a href="WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-77eaa.html">About blending modes</a>.)</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Depth</dt>
<dd>Specifies how deeply the paint penetrates into the texture.
Type a number, or use the slider to enter a value. At 100%, the
low points in the texture do not receive any paint. At 0%, all points
in the texture receive the same amount of paint, therefore hiding
the pattern.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Minimum Depth</dt>
<dd>Specifies the minimum depth to which paint can penetrate when
Depth Control is set to Fade, Pen Pressure, Pen Tilt, or Stylus
Wheel, and Texture Each Tip is selected.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Depth Jitter and Control</dt>
<dd>Specifies
how the depth varies when Texture Each Tip is selected. To specify
the maximum percentage of jitter, enter a value. To specify how
you want to control the depth variance of brush marks, choose an
option from the Control pop‑up menu:<dl><dt class="dlterm">Off</dt>
<dd>Specifies no control over the depth variance of brush marks. </dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Fade</dt>
<dd>Fades from the Depth Jitter percentage to the Minimum Depth percentage
in the specified number of steps. </dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Pen Pressure, Pen Tilt, Stylus Wheel, Rotation</dt>
<dd>Varies the depth based on the pen pressure, pen tilt, position
of the pen thumbwheel, or rotation of the pen.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p></dl>
