Glossary

ArtSet: A collection of presets.  An ArtSet can hold up to 60 presets.

Brush Category: The type of artist tool. These include pastels, oils, markers, pencils, stampers, crayons, blenders, and palette knives.

Brush Effects (or effects): Dynamic modifications to a basic brush that can change any attribute of the brush over time. There are nearly 200 different effects that can be applied to brushes, including jitter, 3D, color randomizer, and burst.

Brush Variation: The specific type of artist tool within the category, like the type of pastel--either fine, soft, regular, coarse, et cetera.

Filter: An automated transformation that works on the entire image. These include blur, contrast, emboss, bump, bevel, zigzag, elliptical, and warp.

Mask: A protective covering over part of the image. In TwistedBrush, a mask is represented with a checkered pattern.

Preset: A saved group of settings for a brush. Normally, a preset holds all of the brush and color settings for an individual brush. At the time the preset is saved, however, it can be flagged to save only the color or only the brush settings. A preset is represented with a marble icon in the ArtSet area. A colored icon means the preset contains both brush and color information.  A gray icon mean the preset contains only brush information with no color information. A flat-color icon means the preset contains just color information. A white icon with an "S" character indicates the preset is a script brush.

Script: A recorded series of actions (i.e., Brush strokes, image manipulations, and filters) that can be saved to file and played back.

Script Brush: A recorded series of actions (i.e., Brush strokes, image manipulations, and filters) that can be tied to a brush and placed on the paper with a click of the mouse button.
