Not only can you create your own custom brushes in AVA, you can also combine any of the brushes in your Brushes Library with the filters you have created in the Filter Browser. This helps you to paint these effects directly into specific areas of your design.
The filter menu at the top right of the Brushes Library lists all filter sets which have been created in the Filter Browser. Click on the menu, select one of the listed filter sets and start painting on the design with an appropriate brush. The chosen filter will be applied to any areas you paint over on the active layer(s) or image.
For more information on how to create filter effects to use with your brushes, please refer to the Filter Browser article.
There are several advantages to applying filters with the Brush Tool:
- Filtered effects can be applied, taking advantage of the Transparency setting of the Brush Tool
- Filtered effects can be applied to very specific areas of the design
- The Pressure Size and Pressure Density settings can be used whilst painting with filters, when using a Wacom™️
