#### 4.5.2.2 The Active Brush

This brush field shows the current brush. It can be edited by double clicking. A double click in the brush list (see chapter 4.15) changes the active brush, too.

The brush is used by many tools of the toolbar, e.g. painting, eraser, spray, water, finger, ... Each of these tools has its own cursor. You can set different brushes for different tools.

If the active tool is a painting tool there is a fast way to change the brush size by using the arrow keys: arrow up enlarges the brush, arrow down reduces it. Additionally the arrow left rotates the brush left and the arrow right rotates it right. There is a second way to adjust the brush size by using the mouse: hold Ctrl (on Windows) or Command (on Mac OS X) and drag the mouse until you got the wanted size. Additionally holding Shift will modify the width of the soft edge of the brush.
