Paintbrush tool not only in the painting play a key role in a series of settings, in the performance aspect of texture also can not be ignored, in the performance of some special texture, its role can be that other tools are unmatched, and the brush tool The scope of the performance of texture in general as: its uniform texture, shape is not fixed cases, such as embroidery, stitching results, yarn, Star, smoke, fire, clouds and so on.

" chain effect" cases of operation are as follows:

1. production chain effects

(1) implementation of the" File \\ Open" menu command, open the" material 1" picture, as shown in Figure 04.

Figure 04 Open the file (2) Double-click" Background" layer, pop-up" New Layers" panel, the name using the default" Layer 0" layer lifted lock, making it operational status, as shown in Figure 05. Figure 05 lifting layers lock (3) The implementation of the" Edit \\ Free Transform" menu command, a certain angle of rotation of the layers, adjusting the size and location of some of the chains placed vertically, press Enter key to implementation of the operation, as shown in Figure 06. Figure 06 the implementation of the" Edit \\ Free Transform" menu command

(4) conversion to the path panel, click" Create New Path" button, the new" path 1" , click the Toolbox in the" pen tool" and draw out the shape of a unit chain, as shown in Figure 07.

map 07 to map out the shape of a unit chain

(5) to draw constituencies into the path of the completion of the implementation of" select \\ reverse" menu command, press Delete key to delete the contents of the constituencies, as shown in Figure 08.

Figure 08 to delete the contents of the constituencies

(6) in the" Layer 0" under a new" Layer 1" , a white canvas filled, easy to observe the operating results, a single Toolbox hit the" eraser tool" , the chains rub the upper part of the fade effect, as shown in Figure 09.

Figure 09 the upper part of the chain rub for the fade effect (7) to" Layer 0" drag to" create a new layer" button, copy a" Layer 0 copy" , move down the" Layer 0" layer of chain link up, prosecutors whether the satisfactory results, if the convergence is not satisfactory, you can repeat the above operation, as shown in Figure 10. Tip: The key steps is to check the convergence of two sets of chains, in order to define the brush can be a very good interface. Figure 10 prosecution results ( 8) on the" Layer 0 copy of the" executive" Edit \\ Free Transform" menu command, right layers rotated 90 degrees to the horizontal position display, press Enter key to implementation of the operation, as shown in Figure 11. Figure 11 pairs of layers rotated 90 degrees

(9) Click the toolbox in the" cutting tool" , the mouse pulled out cutting box, select only the parts of chains, mouse double-click the box, cutting inside the implementation of the cut, shown in Figure 12 shown.

Figure 12 cutting canvas

(10) only shows" Layer 0 copy" , hidden the other layers, the implementation of the" Edit \\ Define Brush Preset" menu command, in the pop-up" pen name" dialog box, enter a name, click" OK" button to complete the operation, as shown in Figure 13.

Figure 13 the implementation of the" Edit \\ Define Brush Preset" menu command

(11) Click the toolbox above the" brush tool" to open the brush options bar the drop-down menu, select Save the" chains" brush, as shown in Figure 14.

Figure 14 select stored" chains" Brush

(12) Open the" brush" panel, in the" Brush Preset" dialog box, in the" shape dynamics" options, in the" angle jitter" in the" control" text box, select" direction" in the" brush tip shape" option bar" Spacing" is set to 150%, shown in Figure 15, as shown in Figure 16.

Figure 15 Figure 16 to set brush
(13) after setting the brush, hold down the Shift key, drag the mouse in the canvas, you can draw the horizontal direction of the chain effect, change the brush tip size, you can draw a different thickness of the chain effect, in the canvas to do curve shift care, you can draw out the natural chain effect, as shown in Figure 17-19. Figure 17 Figure 18
Figure 19 Effect of different forms of chains

2. the application of the brush chains

(1) implementation of the" File \\ Open" menu command, open the" material 2" pictures, shown in Figure 20 shown.

Figure 20 Open the file (2) conversion to the path panel, click" Create New Path" button, the new" path 1" , click the Toolbox in the" pen tool" and draw out the chain direction the path shape, as shown in Figure 21. Figure 21 draw iron chain toward the path of shape (3) In the" background" layer above the new" Layer 1" , click the Toolbox in the" Pen tool" , right click on the canvas, in the pop-up shortcut menu, select" Stroke Path" command, in the pop-up" Stroke Path" dialog box, select" brush" , as shown in Figure 22," Stroke Path" after the effects shown in Figure 23. Figure 22 select" describe edge path" command

Figure 23 select" Stroke Path" command

(4) a new" Layer 2" , load" Layer 1" constituency, filled with black, as shown in Figure 24.

Figure 24 black fill constituencies

(5) on the" Layer 2" implementation of the" Edit \\ Free Transform" menu command, continue to click" in a free transformation and deformation mode to switch between" button, deformation of the shadow of chains, as shown in Figure 25.

Figure 25 Deformation of operating chains shadow

(6) on the" Layer 2" executive" filters \\ blur \\ Gaussian blur" menu command," radius" for 4 pixels, as shown in Figure 26.

Figure 26 the implementation of" filters \\ blur \\ Gaussian blur" menu command

(7) to this" chain effect" of the production process is completed, and the completion of The distribution of effects and layers as shown in Figure 27.
