Brush

The Brush tool is a basic painting tool. It works like a traditional drawing tool by applying the color using strokes. It's located in the standard Tool Bar and its default shortcut is the letter B.

Pencil

The pencil tool is nothing more than a rip off from the brush tool. In fact, all it really consists of is a 1-pixel brush tool tip. Nearly all the same options and tools are available to the Pencil tool as are available with the brush tool.

Color Replacement

It enables us to change the color of an object in a photo without a lot of fuss or hassle. The Color Replacement Tool is not the most professional way to change colors in an image and will not always give you the results you need, but it usually works well for simple tasks and it is such an easy tool to use

Mixer Brush

The Mixer Brush creates realistic painting techniques such as mixing colors on the canvas, combining colors on a brush, and varying paint wetness across a stroke.

The Mixer Brush has two paint wells, a reservoir and a pickup. The reservoir stores the final color deposited onto the canvas and has more paint capacity. The pickup well receives paint only from the canvas; its contents are continuously mixed with canvas colors.

History Brush

The History Brush tool used to apply an image area from a different state or snapshot to your current state. Use this tool to restore a portion of an image to an earlier state, while leaving the rest of the modified image alone. The History Brush has an advantage over the Eraser tool because the History Brush allows access too many blend modes.

Art History Brush

The Art History Brush tool is an interesting variation on the plain old History Brush tool. Both tools paint over an image by using information from a previous state.

The Art History Brush tool, however, includes several choices on the Options bar that let you apply brush-stroke effects to your image when you paint:

• Style: The Style menu contains various-shaped brush stroke styles, such as Tight Short, Loose Medium, Dab, or Loose Curl.

• Area: This option controls the area that the paint stroke covers, independent of the brush size you select. The larger the brush size, the more area it covers.

• Tolerance: This option adjusts the amount of the change applied to your image. A low tolerance value lets you apply strokes anywhere in the image, regardless of color values. A high tolerance value limits Art History strokes to areas that are very different from the source state or snapshot, making your image less dramatically different from the original.

Gradient

The Gradient tool creates a gradual blend between multiple colors. You can choose from preset gradient fills or create your own.

Paint Bucket

The paint bucket tool fills an area of an image based on color similarity. Click anywhere in the image and the paint bucket will fill an area around the pixel you clicked.
