Note: When Stroke Color Mode (in the Stroke pane) is set to Color Over Stroke or Pick From
Color Range, the Brush Color and Brush Opacity parameters are unavailable. When Stroke Color
Mode (in the Stroke pane) is set to Use Brush Color, you can adjust the opacity, in the Stroke
pane, to change over the course of the stroke. For more information on using the Opacity Over
Stroke parameter, see
Stroke pane on page 860.
The Brush Opacity control defines a different opacity value for a shape and its outline.

Brush Source: An image well, available when Image is the selected Brush Type, that lets you set
an image as the outline’s brush source. Drag an image, image sequence, QuickTime movie, text
object, or shape from the Layers list into the Brush Source image well.
Note: When a movie or image sequence is the brush source, additional parameters appear
in the Outline group of controls. For more information, see
Style pane movie controls on
page 859.
•
Brush Profile: A gradient editor, available when Airbrush is the selected Brush Type, that sets
varying levels of opacity within the brush. The brush profile uses the same opacity controls as
a standard gradient editor. For more information, see
Gradient editor on page 135. The default
Brush Profile gradient creates a soft airbrush.
Modify the Brush Profile opacity gradient to create new brush looks.
•
Width: A slider that changes the width of a shape’s outline or width of a paint stroke’s dabs.
On paint strokes, width adjustments will alter the size of the dab while also maintaining the
spacing between each dab.
