Brushes panel overview
In
the Brushes panel, you can select preset brushes, like in the Brush
Preset Picker, but you can also modify existing brushes and design
new custom brushes. The Brushes panel contains the brush tip options
that determine how paint is applied to an image.
The brush stroke preview at the bottom of the panel shows how
paint strokes look with the current brush options.
