Chapter 22. Brushes > Editing brush strokes on objects

Editing brush strokes on objects

If you edit a brush, all objects on which that brush is in use will update to reflect your changes. If you want to edit a brush stroke on an individual object or objects without editing the brush itself, follow these instructions instead.

To change the stroke options for an individual object

1.
Select one or more objects to which the same brush is currently applied .

Select an object or objects on which the brush is being used.

2.
If you want to recolor the brush stroke, choose a stroke color now.

3.
Click the Options of Selected Object button on the Brushes panel. The Stroke Options dialog box opens.

4.
Check Preview.

5.
For a Calligraphic brush stroke, follow steps 47 on pages 302303; for an Art brush stroke, follow steps 47 on page 304; or for a Scatter brush stroke, follow step 4 starting on page 300.

6.
From the Colorization menu (not available for Calligraphic brushes), choose:

None to leave the colors unchanged.

Tints to change black areas in the brush stroke to the stroke color at 100% and non-black areas to tints of the current stroke color. White areas stay white.

Tints and Shades to change colors in the brush stroke to tints of the current stroke color. Black and white stay the same.

Hue Shift to apply the current stroke color to areas containing the most prominent color (the key color) and to change other colors in the brush stroke to related hues.

Click Tips if you want to see an illustration of the Colorization options.

7.
Click OK . Only the selected object or objects will change, not the brush on the Brushes panel.

The brush stroke is altered on the object.
