BRUSH PANEL: OPTIONS TAB (RETOUCH TOOL)
Dodge increases the amount of luminosity in an image, making areas lighter.
Burn reduces the amount of luminosity in an image, making areas darker.
Blur blurs the edges of an image making them less distinct.
Sharpen sharpens the edges of an image thereby making them more distinct.
Tonal adjustment controls the amount of highlight, midtone, and shadow in an
image. Highlight works by adjusting the whitest or brightest parts of an image,
while Midtone adjusts the colors that fall between the dark and light areas of an
image. Shadow works by adjusting the blackest or darkest parts of an image.
Smudge smears the colors in an image as you drag your mouse.
Saturation adds more intensity to colors, making them appear stronger. Clicking
the Desaturation button removes intensity from colors, making them lighter.
Warping distorts an image as you drag your mouse.
Transparency determines the transparency of the paint as it is applied.
Wet adds water to the paint, making it blend more smoothly with the colors of an
image.
Dry removes water from the paint, making it appear more distinct from the colors
of an image.
Smear controls the amount of paint overrun.
Note: The available attributes for each brush that can be modified in the Options tab
vary depending on the currently selected Retouch tool.
Recording macros
Macros give you the ability to record specific brush strokes made with
either the Paint or Retouch tools and use the exact same stroke order again
on future frames. Macros can make common, repetitive editing tasks go
much faster and far more easily as well as create "on-the-fly" animations.
When you create a macro, it is stored in the Production Library and when
you apply it, you have a number of options to control how it plays itself
back over each frame in a video sequence.
