Color Variability Controls

Color variability allows you to create brushstrokes of more than one color. Color variability can be set for HSV or RGB mode, and it can be based on the current gradient or color set.

To display the Color Variability panel Back to Top
 
Choose Window Brush Control Panels Color Variability.
To set color variability in HSV mode Back to Top
1
 
In the Color panel, choose a main color.
2
 
Choose Window Brush Control Panels Color Variability.
3
 
Choose HSV from the list box.
4
 
Adjust the Hue, Saturation, and Value sliders to control hue, saturation, and value ranges for color variability:
Moving the ±Hue slider to the right increases the number of hues in the resulting brushstroke. These colors are the ones adjacent to the selected color on the color wheel.
Moving the ±Saturation slider to the right increases variability in the color intensity of the brushstroke.
Moving the ±Value slider to the right increases variability in the brightness of the brushstroke.
You can try different ±HSV settings with any of the brushes to produce interesting results.
When you save a brush variant, the current color variability setting is also saved.
When working with brushes like the Van Gogh and Seurat variants of the Artists brush, you can add a natural, almost 3D appearance to your Web page images by moving the Hue, Saturation, and Value settings to the right.
To set color variability in RGB mode Back to Top
1
 
In the Color panel, choose a main color.
2
 
Choose Window Brush Control Panels Color Variability.
3
 
Choose In RGB from the list box.
4
 
Move the R, G, and B sliders to control color variability of red, green, and blue values.
To set color variability based on the current gradient Back to Top
1
 
In the Color panel, choose a main color.
2
 
Choose Window Brush Control Panels Color Variability.
3
 
Choose From Gradient from the list box.
Color variability is now based on random colors from the current gradient.
To set color variability based on the current color set Back to Top
1
 
In the Color panel, choose a main color.
2
 
Choose Window Brush Control Panels Color Variability.
3
 
Choose From Color Set from the list box.
Color variability is now based on random colors from the current color set.
To ignore color set variability Back to Top
1
 
Choose Window Brush Control Panels Color Variability.
2
 
Enable the Ignore Color Variability From Color Sets check box.
