Depth Jitter and Control Specifies how the depth varies when Texture Each Tip is selected. To specify the maximum
percentage of jitter, enter a value. To specify how you want to control the depth variance of brush marks, choose an
option from the Control pop-up menu:
• Off Specifies no control over the depth variance of brush marks.
• Fade Fades from the Depth Jitter percentage to the Minimum Depth percentage in the specified number of steps.
• Pen Pressure, Pen Tilt, Stylus Wheel, Rotation Varies the depth based on the pen pressure, pen tilt, position of the
pen thumbwheel, or rotation of the pen.

Dual brushes
A dual brush combines two tips to create brush marks. The second brush texture is applied within the brush stroke
of the primary brush; only the areas where both brushstrokes intersect are painted. Set options for the primary tip
in the Brush Tip Shape section of the Brushes palette. Select a second brush tip from the Dual Brush section of the
Brushes palette, and set any of the following options.
Brush strokes created with a single tip (left) and with dual tips (right)
Mode Sets a blending mode to use when combining brush marks from the primary tip and the dual tip. (See “List
of blending modes” on page 344.)
Diameter Controls the size of the dual tip. Enter a value in pixels, drag the slider, or click Use Sample Size to use the
original diameter of the brush tip. (The Use Sample Size option is available only if the brush tip shape was created by
sampling pixels in an image.)
Spacing Controls the distance between the dual tip brush marks in a stroke. To change the spacing, type a number,
or use the slider to enter a percentage of the tip diameter.
Scatter Specifies how dual tip brush marks are distributed in a stroke. When Both Axes is selected, dual tip brush
marks are distributed in a radial direction. When Both Axes is deselected, dual tip brush marks are distributed
perpendicular to the stroke path. To specify the maximum percentage of scattering, type a number or use the slider
to enter a value.
Count Specifies the number of dual tip brush marks applied at each spacing interval. Type a number, or use the slider
to enter a value.
Color dynamics Brush options
Color dynamics determine how the color of paint changes over the course of a stroke.
