Painting options
When you use a painting tool, you can use the context menu to gain
quick access to common commands. The commands that are avail-
able vary, depending on the selected painting tool and whether there
is a selection in the image.
To use the context menu
With a Painting tool selected, press the right mouse button (Win-
dows), or press Control and the mouse button (Mac). When the menu
pops up at the pointer, choose a command. Canvas applies the com-
mand and hides the menu.
The context menu contains some common commands that are avail-
able from the regular menus. The following commands are available
in the context menu only.
