Hard Media : Modifying Hard Media profiles
Quick links to procedures on this page:
You can modify Hard Media profiles to change the shape and size of the dabs that you apply to the canvas. By changing the profile, you can simulate the real-world hard media that have different shapes, sharpness, or thickness. Using the Hard Media controls, you can change the size, and choose one of six profiles to modify the shape.
When changing the shape, you can use the Squeeze controls to specify the vertical and horizontal ranges of the dab. For example, tilting the tool while drawing can change the dab shape from round to elliptical. You can also change the size of the tip.
The Hard Media controls are usable only with the Circular, Captured, and Eraser dab types. For more information about dab types, see General controls.
You can also save your customized Hard Media variant. For more information, see Adjusting brushes with brush controls.
