Painting changes the color of image pixels. You use painting tools and techniques to retouch images, create or edit masks on alpha channels, rotoscope or paint on video frames, and to paint original art. Brush tips, brush presets, and the many brush options give you creative control to produce stunning painting effects or to simulate working with traditional media. You can work with several painting tools on 32‑bit per channel, high dynamic range (HDR) images including Paintbrush, Pencil, Smudge, Sharpen, Blur, Stamp, History Brush, Pattern Stamp, and Eraser.
