Opacity specifies the degree to which the applied coverage is transparent / opaque. The higher the opacity, the less the original image shows through.

Hardness
determines if the edges of the brush are hard or faded / soft. If you need a precise edge between the smoothed area and the rest of the image, select a hard brush. If you want it to fade at the edges, use a softer brush.

By selecting the Smoothing type you can smooth all pixels; correct only light or dark pixels; or choose a preset optimal for teeth whitening.

The Default button returns all parameter settings to their default values.
