Hints and tooltips

Hints can help you get started quickly with Painter brushes and tools. Specific hints are displayed if the active brush uses one of the following brush technologies: Watercolor, Real Watercolor, Liquid Ink, Cloner, Particles, Dynamic Speckles, or Impasto. If the active brush uses another brush technology, the Hints panel shows tips about finding and modifying brushes. When you click a tool, the Hints panel shows a description of all tools in the toolbox. All hints include links to relevant Help topics that provide comprehensive information about the corresponding brush features or tools.

Tooltips provide helpful information about application controls when you position the pointer over icons, buttons, and other user interface elements. Some tooltips include illustrations that show the effect of using high and low values of specific settings. You set tooltip preferences to hide illustrations from tooltips, decreasing the space a tooltip takes on screen. You can choose to display the illustrations in tooltips at any time.
