A Couple of General Notes When you are using any of the paint tools you must set your presets prior to choosing your color or it will revert back to the default color | This can be done with a Wacom tablet or with a mouse.The settings are all approximate as each person will use a different amount of pressure or a firmer or softer stroke.Also remember the undo is a very important tool and you will need lots of patience. AND SAVE OFTEN |

is where you can decide what you would like to add to your picture I started by adding a roadway using thePaint tool Preset ribbon size 40 transparency 70 soft edge 50 in a color several shades darker than our foreground and by dragging my mouse at an angle repeating until I had the look I wanted .Leaving all the settings the same and only swithching color to several shades lighter than the foreground I ran it along the right edge of the roadway and then used the blur tool Slight blur size 20 level2 Soft edge 95 |  |
