Definitions of terms used in this help.
An outline that lets you see the size of brushes before you make a brushstroke. To turn it off, go to the Preferences window.
A mark made by the movement of a brush on the canvas.
A key combination, using a key and stylus (pen-down) to replace a mouse right-click and hotkey.
A stylus responds differently to the amount of pressure you apply. When you increase the pen responsiveness, you get a wide range of intermediate values for pressure-sensitive brushes as you press harder on the stylus. For example, brushstrokes get thicker and/or darker gradually as you increase the pen pressure.
The action of placing the tip of the stylus firmly on the tablet and holding it in place for a moment. Doing this in combination with a clutch key creates an action equivalent to a right-click and hotkey of the same value. 1 + pen-down = right-click + 1
A series of stamps, separated by a stamp spacing value make up each stroke.
A small stamp spacing value puts stamps close together, producing a dark smooth brushstroke that is potentially less responsive (slower). As the spacing value increases, the stamps spread out, producing a brushstroke that is lighter and not as smooth. A high spacing value produces a responsive brushstroke that appears as a series of dots.
