The Pentools allow you to perform standard operations on brushes fast and easily.

In order to perform an operation, choose it first, then set its level of effect and click on "Perform". The following operations are available:

Invert
Calculate the negative of a brush for the selected value range. If you select a level of 100, the exact opposite of the whole brush is calculated.

Rotate
This function allows you to freely rotate your brush. A level of 100 means a rotation by 360°, level 0 is rotation by 0°, every level thus has a value of 3,6°. Choose 25 for 90°, 50 for 180° etc.

Silhouette
If you require the silhouette of a brush, make use of this operation. With the level you can adjust how strong (in pixels + 1) the calculated silhouette shall be.

Glow
With this you can make any brush glow. The strength of the glowing depends on the setting of "Level".

Scale 1/10
This operation can be used to rescale a brush by a given factor devided by 10. Thus to scale it to half its size, select a value of 5, doubling the brush in size would require a value of 20, etc.

Smooth
This operation allows you to smooth your brushes. The strength of smoothing can be set by adjusting "level".

Optimize
This operation is fully automated and cuts away superflous parts of the brush resulting in shortening all calculation times for drawing operations with this brush
