Brushes palette overview
In the Brushes palette, you can select preset brushes, like in the Brush Preset Picker, but you can also modify existing brushes and design new custom brushes. The Brushes palette contains the brush tip options that determine how paint is applied to an image.
The brush stroke preview at the bottom of the palette shows how paint strokes look with the current brush options.
