the course of a stroke. Choose Pen Pressure to base the variation on the pen pressure. Choose Stylus Wheel to base the variation on the
position of the pen thumbwheel. Choose Off if you don’t want to vary the size.
Specifies the blending mode. Choose Replace to preserve noise, film grain, and texture at the edges of the brush stroke when using
a soft-edge brush.
Specifies the source to use for repairing pixels. Sampled to use pixels from the current image, or Pattern to use pixels from a
pattern. If you chose Pattern, select a pattern from the Pattern pop-up panel.

continue to use the sampled pixels from the initial sampling point each time you stop and resume painting.
Samples data from the layers you specify. To sample from the active layer and visible layers below it, choose Current And Below.
To sample only from the active layer, choose Current Layer. To sample from all visible layers, choose All Layers. To sample from all visible
layers except adjustment layers, choose All Layers and click the Ignore Adjustment Layers icon to the right of the Sample pop-up menu.
