The bitmap section of the tools panel contains tools for selecting, drawing, painting and editing pixels within a bitmap image. The first one we were going to look at is the pencil tool. I will go ahead and change the color, and the pencil tool is used to draw one pixel freehand or constrained straight lines. Much the same way you would use a real pencil to draw a hard edge line. You can also zoom in on a bitmap and click the pencil tool to edit individual pixels if necessary. You have various options available to you within the property inspector. Anti-alias smoothes the edges of the lines that you draw. Auto erase uses the fill color when the pencil tool is clicked over the stroke color. And preserve transparency restricts the pencil tool to drawing only in existing pixels, not in transparent areas of the graphic. You simple drag on the canvas to draw, holding down the shift key will constrain the path to horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines. I will go head and remove the pixel line modifications to our bitmap image. You can use the brush tool to paint a brush stroke using the color in the stroke color box. Go head and change its to color to a lighter color. I will go ahead and drag this on the screen, and you can see now that our image has been drammatically changed. We can also change the blend mode, and I just changed this from normal to invert. Now it's going to select the very opposite color. So the brush stroke can be used in the variety of ways. I will go ahead and undo these. The paint bucket tool is used to change the color of selected pixels to the color in the fill color box. I will go ahead and make this a little bit brighter. And based on our tolerance, we can select the section we wish to fill. And once again the tolerance determines how similar in color pixels must be before they are filled. A low tolerance value fills pixels with color values similar to the pixel you click. A high tolerance fills pixels with the broader range of color values; in this case we actually covered the entire image except for the flag. There is another tool available to you underneath the paint bucket tool, and that is the gradient tool. With that selected, you can choose the type of gradient you want use by bringing up the picker. You can change the opacity level, the color. I will go ahead and go with that, with that selected, and simply drag and release. And based on the two points that we have, the gradient colors fill on our canvas. You can also sample a color to use as a stroke or fill color by using the eyedropper tool. Here we just click on an area. You can sample the color of a single pixel, an average color values with in a 3x3-pixel area, Or an average color values by a 5x5-pixel area. And as you can see as I select the different areas on this bitmap image, the color changes. Indicating the color underneath the eyedropper. You can also erase areas of a bitmap image by using the eraser tool. With that selected, you simply drag it on the screen and it removes the pixels it has selected. And of course within the properties inspector you can modify the eraser's attributes. The size, the edge, shape and even percentage of opacity. And drop it down to 46 percent, and you can see our bitmap image of a mailbox bleeds slightly through. and even percentage of opacity. And drop it down to 46 percent, and you can see our bitmap image of a mailbox bleeds slightly through.
