Using the Paint, ShapeDrawing, and Eraser Tools
Introduction
Adobe Photoshop supplies you with all types of adjustmentand manipulation tools. In addition to image enhancement,Photoshop can also be a powerful application for designingfrom scratch. With the vast array of supplied brushes, tips,and shape drawing tools, Photoshop helps you produce anyimage, either enhanced or developed from scratch, that youmight need for virtually any conceivable project.
Brushes come in all sizes and shapes, and can be con-trolled with a mouse or drawing tablet. Since the shape ofthe tip controls brush strokes, Photoshop gives you access toseveral sets of predefined brush tip shapes, or you can createyour own customized sets. As for shape drawing tools,Photoshop doesn't limit your creativity to just drawing circlesand squares; it gives you instant access to dozens of prede-fined shapes. You can even create and save your own customshapes. When it comes to Photoshop's paint and drawingtools, your choices are limitless, based only on your knowl-edge of the available tools, and a creative imagination—themore you know, the more you can do with Photoshop.
And, when all the drawing is said and done, there will bea need for cleaning up. With the various Eraser tools thatPhotoshop provides, you can make quick work of touching upthose small problem areas. Photoshop provides regulareraser tools, eraser tools that erase to a definable edge, andeven eraser tools that target specific color values.
When enhancing an image, you might want to apply agradient. Gradients can be something as simple as black andwhite, or as complex as one that contains the colors of therainbow. Gradients can be applied to an image by completelycovering the original image information, or they can be con-trolled through targeted selection, and creative uses of blend-ing modes.

The Foreground and Background colors, located on the toolbox, arePhotoshop's way of identifying your primary painting color, as well asthe color Photoshop uses in conjunction with the Background layer.When you select any of Photoshop's painting or drawing tools, the colorapplied to the document will be the foreground color. Hence, it's some-times referred to as the active color. The Background color serves sev-eral functions—its primary roll is to instruct Photoshop how to handleerasing on the Background layer. When you use an eraser tool on alayer, by default, the pixels are converted to transparency. However,when you use an eraser tool on the Background, something differenthappens. Since the Background does not support transparency, itreplaces the erased pixels with the current background color.
Selecting Foregroundand Background Colors
Change the Active Foregroundand Background Colors
Use any of the following methods:
◆ Select the Eyedropper tool on thetoolbox, and then click anywhere inthe active document to change theforeground color.

Understanding Colors
In Windows, you can use the Color dialog box, which displays basicand custom color squares and a color matrix with the full range ofcolors in the color spectrum, to help you select a color. You can enterRGB values for hue, saturation, and luminosity (also known as bright-ness) to specify a color. Hue is a pure color (one without tint orshade); the name of the color (red, green, etc.) is measured by itslocation on the color wheel. Saturation is a measure of how muchwhite is mixed in with the color. A fully saturated color has vividtones; a less saturated color is more of a washed-out pastel.Luminosity is a measure of how much black is mixed with the color. A very bright color contains little or no black. You can also changethe hue by moving the pointer in the color matrix box horizontally; youcan change the saturation by moving the pointer vertically, and theluminosity by adjusting the slider to the right of the color matrix box.On the Macintosh, you click one of the color modes and select acolor, using its controls. You can select RGB values by selecting thecolor sliders at the top of the dialog box, then choosing RGB Slidersfrom the pop-up menu, and dragging the Red, Green, and Blue slid-ers. Or, you can enter values (color numbers) to select a color. Youcan select hue, saturation, and brightness (or luminosity) values byselecting Color Sliders, choosing HSB Sliders, then dragging the slid-ers or entering your own values.

Photoshop introduced the Brush and BrushPreset panels in CS5. The Brush panel allowsyou to create and select individual brushes,while the Brush Presets panel allows you toselect and use predefined or custom brush tipsets or individual brushes. In the Brush panel,the current painting engine configuration,with options—including Shape Dynamics,Scattering, Texture, Dual Brush, ColorDynamics, Transfer, Brush Pose (New!), Noise,Wet Edges, Build-up (New!), Smoothing, andProtect Texture—gives you control overbrushes in ways that once were only availablein programs like Adobe Illustrator.
To use the Brush or Brush Presets panel,you first need to select a brush tool, or a toolthat requires the use of a brush, such as theEraser tool, chosen from the toolbox, andthen display the Brush or Brush Presets panel.You can click the Window menu, and thenchoose Brush or Brush Presets to display thepanel. You can also click the Brush Panel but-ton on the Options bar (with a brush toolselected) or Brush Presets panel, or click theBrush Presets button on the Brush panel.Photoshop includes brush presets from JohnDerry, a Corel Painter expert (New!).

The Brush Preset panel comes with a wide variety of predefined brushtip sets, including natural bristle, faux finish, and special effect brushes.Each set organizes specific brush tips by name. Since other Photoshoptools also use brush tips, it's important to have the right tool (brush tip)for the right job. Using or making do with the wrong brush tip is akin todigging a swimming pool with a teaspoon. You wouldn't paint a portraitwith a house-painting brush, so don't settle for anything less than theexact brush tip you need to get the job done.

Although Photoshop's Brush panel gives you many choices for brushtips, any good designer will tell you that no matter how many brush tipsyou have, you'll always want more. For example, you're working on a100-year-old photograph, and you need a specific brush to add hairdetails to the blown-out areas of the image. You'll want to find a specialtype of brush that literally creates the illusion of wavy hair and add it toyour collection of brush tips. Photoshop, in an effort to help keep youorganized, gives you the ability to create your very own customizedbrush tips, and then save them later in organized sets.
Creating CustomizedBrush Tips
Create a New Brush Tip
Open an image, scan an item, orselect any of Photoshop's paintingtools and create a shape for a newbrush tip.
IMPORTANT Since the color ofa brush is determined when thebrush tip is selected, create thebrush tip using black or shades ofgray.
Select the brush tip using any ofPhotoshop's selection tools.
IMPORTANT Photoshop picksup any pixel information in theunderlying layers, even white. Ifyou want the brush to have atransparent background, makesure the areas surrounding theimage are transparent.
Click the Edit menu, and then clickDefine Brush Preset.
Enter a name for the new brushpreset.
Click OK.
Open the Brush panel, and thenscroll to the bottom of the list toaccess your newly created brushtip.
Since the Define Brush Presetbutton picks up any backgroundcolors within the selection area, italways creates the brush tip in ablank layer.

Photoshop's Brush and Airbrush tools were designed to reproduce thevisual effect of applying paint to a canvas. You have full control over thebrush tip, color, size, opacity, and even the brush's blending mode.Control over the image is achieved by using additional layers to hold thebrush strokes—but remember, adding additional layers increases thefile size of a Photoshop document. Since layers have their own individ-ual options, such as opacity, fill, and blending modes, you achieve evengreater control over the final design by giving brush strokes their ownlayers. Once the brush stroke is to your liking, you can always mergethe brush-stroke layer into the image to conserve file size.

Using the Brush and Airbrush ToolsThe Brush and Airbrush tools look the same, but they perform quitedifferently. The Brush tool maintains a specific opacity; for example,if you choose 50% opacity, the Brush maintains that opacity no mat-ter how many times you pick up your pen and start again. However,if you release and drag again over the same area, the Brush addsanother 50% application of ink to the image, producing a more satu-rated result. The Airbrush tool works by accumulation—dragging theimage produces a brush stroke based on the opacity of the brushand the speed with which you move the tool across the image. If youhold the Airbrush tool in one position, the ink color will slowlyincrease until it reaches 100%, just like a real airbrush.

With the Mixer Brush tool, you can define multiple colors on a singlebrush tip, and then mix and blend them together with the underlyinghues on your canvas. With a photo, you can use a dry, empty brush toblend the existing colors while at the same time adding a painting effectto the image. Mixer Brush options on the Options bar allow you to con-trol the wetness of the brush, the load rate to add paint to the brush, themixing rate between the brush and canvas color, and whether the brushis refilled, cleaned, or both after each painting stroke.

The Pencil tool is exactly what its name implies…a pencil. The Penciltool is limited to hard brush tips of any size or shape, and createsfreeform lines using the current foreground color. In fact, the major dif-ference between the Pencil and Brush tools is the Pencil tool's inabilityto draw anything but a hard-edged line. A unique feature of the Penciltool is its ability to switch between the current foreground and back-ground colors using the Auto Erase feature.

The Auto Erase feature lets you automatically switch the Pencil tool'spainting color using the current foreground and background colorswatches. The trick is where you start drawing the line. If you startdragging the brush tip from a new location in the document, the Penciltool creates a line in the active foreground color. If you then place thebrush tip on a previously drawn line and drag, the Pencil tool creates anew line in the active background color. Since the Auto Erase featuredoesn't really erase anything, it will perform exactly the same way on atransparent layer as it does on the background layer.

Having the ability to draw a perfect polygon or rounded-corner rectan-gle is nice; however, Photoshop went way beyond standard shapeswhen it introduced the Custom Shape tool. Photoshop now comespackaged with dozens of predesigned shapes, or you can even createyour own. User-defined shapes can be made from literally any vectorobject. For example, a company logo can be converted to a customshape. Custom shapes have many time-saving applications. As previ-ously mentioned, a company logo, if used frequently, is only a mouseclick away. Any vector form, outline, or shape used on a recurringbasis, can be converted to a custom shape and saved for future use.Select the Custom Shape tool, and then configure the shape usingchoices from the Options bar.

Creating customized sets of shapes is an excellent way to get organ-ized. The next time you need a specific shape all you have to do isselect the shape from your organized sets. Organization can save youtime, but it also lends a sense of consistency to designs. Using thesame customized shapes repeatedly helps to tie the elements of adesign together, and Photoshop gives you the perfect way to maintainthat consistency with customized shape sets.
Saving Custom Shape Sets
Save Custom Shape Sets
Select the Custom Shape tool onthe toolbox.
Click the Shape list arrow to see alist of the current shapes.
Create new shapes, and then addthem to the current list.
IMPORTANT As you createnew shapes, if there are some youdon’t like, delete them. Right-clickthe shape, and then click DeleteShape.
To add preexisting shapes, clickthe Options button, and then clickLoad Shapes, or choose from theavailable predefined shape lists.

Chapter 9 Using the Paint, Shape Drawing, and Eraser Tools 243
The Paint Bucket tool is not new; in fact, it's been around almost aslong as Photoshop. The Paint Bucket's primary function is to fill an areawith the active foreground color, but that's not all it's capable of doing.The Paint Bucket tool can fill areas with a selected pattern and, muchthe same way that the Magic Wand tool selects image information, thefill area can be controlled by the shift in brightness of image pixels.Combine those features with the ability to change the Paint Bucket'sblending mode or opacity, and you have a tool with a lot of horsepower.
Using the Paint Bucket Tool
Use the Paint Bucket Tool
Select the Paint Bucket tool on thetoolbox.
Click the Fill list arrow, and thenselect an option:
◆ Foreground. Fills a selected area with the currentforeground color.
◆ Pattern. Fills a selected areawith a pattern.
Click the Pattern list arrow, andthen select a predefined fillpattern. This option is available ifyou select Pattern as a fill option.
Click the Mode list arrow, and thenselect a blending mode.
Enter an Opacity percentage value(1% to 100%).
Select a Tolerance value (0 to 255).The Tolerance value influences therange that the Paint Bucket usesto fill a given area.
Select the Anti-alias check box tocreate a visually smoother line.
Select the Contiguous check boxto restrict the fill to the selectedarea.
Select the All Layers check box tofill the color range informationfrom all the image’s layers.
Click the Paint Bucket tool cursoron the area to be changed.

Photoshop's basic Eraser tool converts image pixels in a layer to trans-parent pixels. While the primary function of the Eraser tool has notchanged, the tool itself has been greatly improved. For example, youcan use the Eraser tool to remove a specific color or to erase aroundthe edge of an object. You can instruct the Eraser tool to remove a spe-cific color while protecting another color and at the same time,increase or decrease the tool's tolerance (the range of selection). Ifyou use the Eraser tool on a layered document, the tool will erase totransparency. If the Eraser tool is used on a flattened document (flat-tened documents do not support transparency), the Eraser tool will usethe active background color to perform the erasure. As you can see,the eraser tools do more than blindly erase image information. As youmaster the eraser tools, you just may find those complicated eraserjobs becoming easier and easier. The Background Eraser tool lets youselect specific colors within an image and erase just those colors.
Working with theEraser Tools
Use the Basic Eraser Tool
Select the Eraser tool on thetoolbox.
Click the Brush list arrow, and thenselect a brush tip.
Click the Erasing Mode list arrow,and then click Brush, Pencil, orBlock.
Enter an Opacity percentage value(1% to 100%) to determine howmuch the eraser removes from theimage.
Enter a Flow percentage value (1% to 100%) to determine thelength of the eraser stroke.
Click the Airbrush button tochange the solid eraser stroke ofthe eraser to that of an airbrush.
Select the Erase To History checkbox to temporarily turn the Eraserinto a History Brush.
Drag the Eraser over an imagelayer to convert the image pixelsto transparency.

Use the Background Eraser Tool
Select the Background Eraser toolon the toolbox.
Click the Brush list arrow, and thenselect a brush tip.
Click one of the Sampling buttons(determines how the BackgroundEraser selects the color range):
◆ Continuous. Continually selectsa color range as you drag theEraser tool across the image.
◆ Once. Samples a color rangewhen you first click yourmouse.
◆ Background Swatch. Onlyerases the active backgroundcolor.
Click the Limits list arrow, andthen click how far you want theerasing to spread:
◆ Discontiguous. Lets the Erasertool work with all similar colorrange pixels throughout theimage.
◆ Contiguous. Restricts theEraser tool to the selectedcolor range, without movingoutside the originally sampledarea.
◆ Find Edges. Looks for a shift incolor range and attempts toerase to the visual edge of theimage.
Select a Tolerance percentagevalue (1% to 100%). The higher thetolerance, the greater the range.
Select the Protect ForegroundColor check box to prevent thatcolor from being erased.
Drag in the image to erase.7

Using the Background Eraser ToolThe Background Eraser tool erases an image by converting theimage pixels to transparency. If you attempt to use the BackgroundEraser tool on a flattened image, the tool will automatically convertthe flattened background into a normal layer. Photoshop is actuallymaking an assumption that if you're using the Background Erasertool, you obviously need the image to be on a layer that supportstransparency, not a background layer.
For Your Information
246 Chapter 9
The Magic Eraser tool functions the same way as the Magic Wandselection tool, except that instead of selecting an area, it erases it. TheMagic Eraser tool works on any traditional Photoshop layer, as well asthe Background layer. Clicking with the Magic Eraser tool convertsimage pixels into transparent pixels. Since the Background layer doesnot support transparency, using the Magic Eraser tool causesPhotoshop to convert the Background into a traditional layer. The clickposition for the Magic Eraser tool is the reference point from which theerase takes place. The Magic Eraser tool erases all contiguous pixels(those touching each other) that are within the set tolerance level,which is how great of a variation in pixel color you can have to beincluded in the erase.
Working with theMagic Eraser Tool
Work with the Magic Eraser Tool
Select the Magic Eraser tool onthe toolbox.
Enter a Tolerance value (0 to 255).The higher the value, the greaterthe range the Magic Erasererases.
Select the Anti-alias check box tocreate a visually softer eraser(useful when dealing withintensely rounded or curvedselections).
Select the Contiguous check boxto select adjacent pixels within theactive document.
Select the Sample All Layerscheck box to sample imageinformation from all layers(Photoshop then treats the visualimage as a composite).
Click within the active document.
The Magic Eraser tool, dependingon the options you choose,samples the pixels directly underthe tool and uses that data tocreate a range for erasing imageinformation.

While most of Photoshop's painting and drawing tools let you select andpaint with a single color, the Gradient tool lets you paint with a veritablerainbow of colors. The Gradient tool comes packaged with several setsof predesigned gradients—including color, transparent, and neutral den-sity options—or you can create and save your own customized gradientsets. The process of creating a gradient is simple; you select a gradientalong with a specific type (Linear, Radial, etc.), and then drag in the doc-ument window. The length and angle of the drag determines how thegradient is applied. Since gradients, by default, overwrite image pixels,it's a good idea to create gradients in separate layers.
Creating and ApplyingGradients
Create a Standard Gradient
Select the Gradient tool on thetoolbox.
Click the Gradient list arrow, andthen select from the availablegradients.
◆ The preset gradients includeForeground to Transparent,Chrome, Spectrum, TransparentRainbow, Transparent Stripes,and Neutral Density.
Select one of the followinggradient types from the five icons:
◆ Linear, Radial, Angle, Reflectedor Diamond.

Enter an Opacity percentage value(1% to 100%).
Select the Reverse check box toreverse the color order of theselected gradient.
Select the Dither check box tovisually create a smoothertransition between gradient colors.
Select the Transparency checkbox to create gradients using agradient mask (allows fortransparency in the gradient).
Drag in the image to create agradient.

Customized gradients are easy to create and essential when you justcan't find what you want in Photoshop's predefined sets. It doesn'tmatter how many gradients Photoshop provides for you, there willalways be that one instance where they just don't do the required job.With just a few clicks of your mouse, you can create your own cus-tomized gradients. You can start with one of Photoshop's gradients andmodify it to your needs. You can also start completely from scratch; thechoice is yours, and so are the rewards of creating that one-of-a-kindstunning gradient you can use for your current and future projects.

Creating a Customized GradientGradients serve many purposes. They can be used to jazz up a shapedrawn with Photoshop's drawing tools or they can be applied to anentire document and used as a background on a web page,brochure or newsletter. Whatever you use gradients for, rememberthat they are powerful image elements. Use gradients to attractattention to a document, but don't use them if they draw people'seyes away from the main elements of the image. It will be a smallconsolation to know that your fantastic marketing graphic attractedattention, but everyone was so focused on your special effects andgradients, they forgot to buy what you were selling. Remember, it'salways about the message. An image is worth a thousandwords…let the image tell its story.
