Using texture depth

Jump to Mobile

Setting overall texture depth

When adjusting Depth, you set how visibly the texture shows through the overall stroke. This option is only available for the Standard brushes, Erasers, and Blend Mode brushes.

The brush preview updates as you make changes to Depth. The higher the value, the more visible the texture becomes. A value of zero means no texture is visible.

Setting depth per tip

When Per Tip is checked, two new options appear, Depth with Heavy Pressure and Depth with Light Pressure. Set these to change the visibility of the texture when pressing heavily or lightly.

To further create a unique textured brush stroke, turn on Offset Randomness.
