To choose settings for the Paintbrush:
Fig. 4 Choose settings for the Paintbrush in its Preferences dialog box.
|
Double-click the Paintbrush tool (or choose the tool and press Return/Enter).
Choose a Fidelity value (0.5-20) (Figure 4). A Fidelity value below 5 will produce a path very close to the way you drag the tool. A high setting will produce a smoother path with fewer anchor points that only approximates the path you drag.
Choose a Smoothness value (0-100) for the amount of curvature the tool creates in the path. The higher the Smoothness, the fewer the irregularities in the path.
Optional: Check the "Fill new brush strokes" box if you want new paths to
be filled with the current fill color.
Optional: Check the Keep Selected box to keep the newly drawn path selected.
Click OK (Return/Enter).
TIP
Click Default to reset the Paintbrush preferences to their defaults.
