PS ?

It's probably in one of my books at home, but what is the difference between flow and opacity in Photoshop when you're using the brushes and stuff? Does each produc a different effect? I normally turn both down to be safe, but I was just thinking about it now.

This might help. I should probably read it but it said something about flow and opasity in photoshop in the google definition =D

I skimmed.

Opacity specifies the maximum amount of paint coverage applied by the Brush, PaintBrush, Pencil, Clone Stamp, Pattern Stamp, History Brush, Art History Brush, Gradient, and Paint Bucket tools.

Flow specifies how quickly paint is applied by the Brush tool. A low setting produces a lighter stroke.

Strength specifies the strength of strokes applied by the Smudge, Blur, Sharpen, and Sponge tools.
Exposure specifies the amount of exposure used by the Dodge and Burn tools.

OK, so flow means how light the strokes are and opacity means the max opacity of the strokes?

Opasity to me means how dark an image is. How faded. Flow I think means...i guess like a splatter of paint. A stroke can be heavy or thick. Its opasity is either full or faded. That make sense?
