Elements – Smart Brush

Posted on 16. Jan, 2009 by admin in Elements 7, Elements Tutorials

How does the Smart Brush work? If you look at the Layers palette, you’ll see that an adjustment layer was created along with the layer mask that accompanies adjustment layers.

The area you highlighted is shown in white on the mask, consequently showing the effect. The black areas on the mask are hiding the effect. 

To revise the effect you created, you can either double-click the adjustment layer in the Layers palette or you can double-click the red adjustment pin located in your selection on the image. As long as the adjustment layer is one supported by Elements, the dialog box for that adjustment layer will open and you can make any changes you wish.

Take a look at this Video I found on You Tube about the Smart Brush
