Using the Airbrush tool
The Airbrush tool sprays the currently selected color, ink, and fill pattern. To modify the spray, select the ink effects

area.
When you hold down the mouse button when the pointer is positioned on the Airbrush tool, the Airbrush menu
appears. You can define each of the five settings in the menu, so you can have several types of spray available without
opening the Airbrush Settings dialog box.
