Many of Photoshop’s paint, edit, and healing tools
rely on a common group of options and settings that
Adobe calls the brush engine. These options include
such elements of brushstroke behavior as size, hard-
ness, roundness, angle, pressure-sensitive taper, and
bristle type. Photoshop CS5 introduces some amaz-
ing brush features, like the new Mixer brush tool,
which allows you to combine colors in your image
to mimic real-life painting.
