posited with the active layer. The two images above were created using a brush with spacing set to sixty. The image on the left shows non-incremental painting and the image on the right shows the difference that incremental painting can produce. Incremental paint mode results in each brush application, through the duration of a stroke, being rendered in addition to any previous brush renderings.
M Marching Ants The name for the dotted line which delineates a selection. Modes, layer There are fifteen available layer modes. Selecting a layer mode changes the way that layer or paint application is viewed based on the layer or layers beneath it. Layer modes Normal This is the default layer mode. The layer will be viewed normally. Dissolve The Dissolve layer mode dissolves the layer into the layer beneath it. It does so by dispersing pixels. This can best be seen in a close-up
screenshot. The image on the left illustrates a normal layer mode and the image on the right shows the same two layers in dissolve mode. Multiply This mode multiplies the pixel values of the layer with those that are
visible beneath it. The image on the left illustrates a normal layer mode and the image on the right shows the same two layers in multiply mode.
