Frequently asked questions
What is the airbrush good for?
Soft color with size, hardness, and tip shape—shading, glow, and gentle tints.
Should I airbrush on a new layer?
Yes. Then you can lower opacity or erase without hurting the photo.
How is it different from a hard brush?
The spray has a softer edge. Lower hardness so it does not look like a stamped circle.
Can I use it for portrait shading?
Yes. Light passes work for color or dodge-and-burn style work.
