The
Pencil tool creates
hard-edged freehand lines.
In the Editor, select a color to paint by setting
the foreground color.
Select the Pencil tool in the toolbox. (The Pencil tool
is nested with the Brush tool .)
Set Pencil tool options in the options bar, as desired,
and then drag within the image to paint.
To draw a straight line, click a starting
point in the image. Then hold down Shift and click an ending point.
You
can specify any of the following Pencil tool options:
Brushes
Sets the brush tip. Click the arrow next to the brush sample,
choose a brush category from the Brushes pop‑up menu, and then select
a brush thumbnail.
Size
Sets the size of the brush in pixels. Drag the Size pop‑up
slider or enter a size in the text box.
Mode
Specifies how the paint that you apply blends with the existing
pixels in the image.
Opacity
Sets the opacity of the paint you apply. A low opacity setting
allows pixels under a paint stroke to show through. Drag the pop‑up
slider or enter an opacity value.
Auto Erase
Paints with the background color over areas containing the foreground
color. If you begin dragging from an area that doesn’t contain the foreground
color, the tool paints with the foreground color.
