4. The Screen Setup of PhotoLine

## 4.6 The Tool Settings

The tool settings contain extended settings for the tools in the toolbar. Most tools have a variable intensity. Sometimes color channels can be locked, e.g. it is possible to edit only the red channel.

If there is an open document, many tools, that have a slider as main control, allow modifying that slider by using the keyboard. Typing only a single digit, uses this digit multiplied by 10 as percent value (i.e. "1" results in 10%), "0" is translated to 100%. Entering a longer number uses this number directly as percent value.

Image Tools often have an option to adjust the behavior of a graphics tablet. All available options are supporting the eraser of the graphics pen:

- Only Eraser
PhotoLine doesn’t use the pressure sensitivity.
- Intensity
The pen pressure controls the intensity.
- Brush Size
The pen pressure controls the brush size of the tool.
- Size & Intensity
The pen pressure controls both the intensity and the brush size.

Some tools are supporting presets (see chapter 3.9.2). You can access these presets by using the window menu available in the titlebar of the Tool Settings.
