Effect Paint Modifiers

The modifiers on the Effect tab require unlimted access to colors and therefore are only available when editing a True Color or Windows XP image.

Dodge - Used to lighten the colors in an image. The Per cent factor is used to increase the individual red, green and blue components of pixels. Black pixels have RGB components equal to zero and therefore cannot be lightened using the Dodge effect.

Burn - Used to darken colors in an image. The Per cent factor is used to decrease the individual red, green and blue components of pixels.

Gradient - Used to paint an area that gradually changes from one color to another. Click here for more information on gradients.
