Selecting Brush Tip Sets
The Brushes palette comes with 12 pre-defined sets. Each set, organizes specific brush tips by name. Since more than the paintbrush tool uses brush tips, it's important to have the right tool (brush tip) for the right job. Using or making do with the wrong brush tip is akin to digging a swimming pool with a teaspoon. You wouldn't paint a portrait with a house-painting brush, so don't settle for anything less than the exact brush tip you need to get the job done.
