Figure 7-18 The Brush tool in Photoshop Elements.
With brushes that produce ‘realistic’ brush effects, increasing the
size of the brush via the keyboard
or options bar makes the textures in the stroke – such as brush hairs –
slightly fuzzy.
Top: The Spatter brush, in the default set, at its 59 pixel size. The
tip shape is at the left.
Bottom: The 14 pixel version of the Spatter brush enlarged via the
keyboard to be the same
size as the 59 pixel brush, showing the inferior quality (notice
especially the tip itself at the left).
