Now I don't know if you picked up on this or not, or if you noticed this or not from the previous video, but as we selected different tools inside the Toolbox, this bar across the top of the Interface, which is called the Options Bar by the way, changed. So give this a try. I'm going to go and select the Paint Brush Tool out of the Toolbox and then all of a sudden the Options Bar across the top changes. So in other words, the Options Bar here inside Photoshop is dynamic and it depends on which tool you have selected that determines the Options and the Settings that become available across the top of the Interface. I hope that makes sense. So I'm going to go back to the Paint Brush Tool here inside the Toolbox and let me give you kind of a quick tour of the Options Bar, at least as it relates to the Paint Brush Tool. So I have all sorts of Settings and Options here now. I have a Brush Drop-down and when I click on that guy I get this huge drop-down window where I can go and set what's called the Master Diameter, or my Brush Size. I can go and set the Hardness or the Softness of my Brush if I want, or I can use this scrolling list inside this drop-down menu to go and choose a preset brush and you can see there's all kinds of wacky artistic brushes there down toward the bottom, right. So lots of cool stuff here inside this drop-down. Now I'm just going to click on this little blue drop-down arrow just to close out of that. And then we also have something inside Photoshop called Blending Modes and they sort of provide special effects for us. Now, I'm not really giving you a proper definition of Blending Modes because they're actually a little bit more complex than that, but we'll talk about Blending Modes as soon as we start talking about Layers. And then we also have an Opacity Setting, a Flow Setting and an Airbrush Setting. Again, this is the Options Bar as it relates to the Paint Brush. Now if I go and grab a different tool, say the Gradient Tool out of the Toolbox, now the Options Bar changes and gives me Settings and Options related to the Gradient Tool. So again, I have a drop-down here and I could go and choose a Gradient, I suppose, if I wanted to. And then I could go and choose the Type of Gradient that I want - Linear or Radial, or any of the others - and then again a Blending Mode and so on and so on. So that's really the idea. I could go and grab the Pen Tool, now I have Pen Tool Settings. I could go and grab the Type Tool and now I have Type Settings. Right? So, just keep your eyeballs at the top of your Interface, at the top of your screen here and you'll get a sense of what you can go and set and what you can go and change here for your tools.
