\next ""
\prev "mpp_ir"
There are three \{ \ts i extra \} controls available for users of the AGA
chip set, or the OpalVison and FireCracker boards. The first is the \{ \ts
i Draw \} function. This allows you to draw using the selected color in the
paint mixing area. This is similar to an \{ \ts i airbrush \} effect. The
next option is \{ \ts i stir \} or \{ \ts i smear \} . This is similar to
mixing oil paints by dragging the brush from one color to the next. The last
option is the \{ \ts i wash \} function. This effect is similar to applying
a wet brush to water color paints, and then mixing the colors on the palette.
