So i know I can use brush simulate a brush stroke from thin-thick-thin
![]()
and thick to thin with the fade option
.
Is there a way to simulate a brush stroke so the path will have thick end points and thin middle. I mean with out a tablet of some sort.
In addition, can i brush a path starting from the end point and not from the start anchor point?
If there is no way to do it in Photoshop, can I do something similar in Illustrator?
Thank you
Answer
It is not possible in Photoshop to use the Fade
feature on both ends of a stroke. The only way to accomplish that is via a tablet with brush dynamics and pressure.
With Illustrator there are a couple methods to alter the width of a stroke.
- You can use the Width Tool to manually click-drag areas along a path to increase or decrease a stroke’s width.
- You can choose a Profile for a stroke in the Stroke Panel or Control Panel (This essentially just applied the width variables in a predetermined fashion.)
Photoshop contains no features which are similar to this.
