You can change the Opacity, Size, and Spacing of Imagestamp images and determine the placement of images in the stroke. In addition, brush expression settings let you use different pen attributes, such as pressure, and direction to change the size of images on the fly.

Adjusting Opacity, Size, and Color

You can use the property bar to adjust the Opacity and Size of Imagestamp images or to mix them with the background color. 

The Opacity slider allows you to make Imagestamp images semitransparent. If you move the slider all the way to the left, the images become invisible.

The Size slider lets you control the size of image elements delivered by the Imagestamp. If you move the slider all the way to right, the images become very huge.

The Grain slider allows you to mix the background color with the Imagestamp images. As you move the slider to the left, more of the background color appears in the images.

Spacing Images

You control the space between images with the Spacing settings on the Brush editor. Moving the Spacing slider to the right increases the spacing between image elements.
