Shade

Use the Shade mode to darken or lighten the image.

With the Shade medium, you darken images using a colour with a low luminance value, and lighten them using a colour with a high luminance value. The opacity of the brush affects the transparency of the paint applied to the image. When the opacity value is set to 100%, the paint applied is completely opaque. As you decrease the opacity, the paint becomes more transparent.

To shade the image:

1. From the Paint Mode box, select Shade (Ctrl+7).
2. Set colour for the shading.
3. Shade the image.

Useful Paint settings:

• Opacity: Sets the transparency of the shade.
• Blending: Sets the blending mode.
