Chapter 10: Creating and Applying Color


Overview

The methods used by painters and computer artists differ in their physical application. Painters, of course, paint with pigment, whereas computer artists paint with light. The similarity, however, is that Photoshop s painting functions are designed to simulate the real-life studio environment with a variety of virtual tools for applying color. Photoshop draws and paints with light, yet has the ability to simulate almost any effect that can be created on paper or canvas. These same capabilities can be greatly extended by applying artistic, textural, and brush stroke filters that can convert a photograph into anything ”from a Rembrandt to a Picasso ”instantaneously.

In this chapter, you ll learn about:

  • Understanding digital color

  • Choosing colors, color modes, and color models

  • Creating and modifying brushes

  • Using the painting and editing tools

  • Making and applying gradients and patterns

  • Filling and stroking
