As with so many of Photoshop’s tools, this control determines what pixels it interacts with. The last setting we’ll focus on here is the Sample All Layers option. In working with the Mixer Brush I’ll start with it set around 20% so I have a bit more control over how quickly the current brush load builds up on the image.Īs with the Wet option, if I need it to work faster I can boost this setting up to around 40%.

The Flow setting also works to help control how fast the paint is built up. If the effect seems to be too light I’ll boost that up to around 40% or so. When working on blending colors in an image I’ll start with a low Wet setting, around 20%. Lower Wet settings mean less paint is picked up which can be a good way to lessen the effect of each stroke. The Wet option controls the amount of paint that is picked up each time you begin a stroke.

Of these options the 2 that concern our workflow the most are the Wet setting and the Flow setting.
