  Experimenting With the Painting Tools

The opacity setting for the paintbrush tool is to determine the transparency of brush strokes. The lower the value, the more transparent the paint. This is only one of the options you can specify for a painting or editing tool by using its options palette.

Generally, each painting and editing tool has its own options and brushes that you specify in the options palette and brushes palette, respectively. Shortcut to increase the size of the brush is right square brackets( ] ) and the Shortcut to decrease the size of the brush is left square brackets( [ ).
