The Gel filter is part of the Gel Series Set. Gel lets you flow translucent Gel into your type and graphics. It will then let you brush and splatter on Gels to further enhance you effect.

NOTE: The following tutorial covers just the controls, or click on the example below for tips on how I got the effect.

A. Bulge Brush
This brush will add localized depth to the effect by raising the depth height wherever it is brushed. Use the Brush Opacity, Size and Feather controls to further enhance the Bulge Brush attributes.

B. Splatter Brush
Draw with this brush to create splats of gel along the path. Random splatter shapes will be generated as you draw. Use the brush size, feather and opacity controls to adjust the splats. Remove splats with the Remove Brush.

C. Indent Brush
This brush will add localized depth indentions to the effect by pushing in the effect wherever it is brushed. Use the Brush Opacity, Size and Feather controls to further enhance the Indent Brush attributes.

D. Add Brush
This brush will draw the effect from its nozzle using the current slider and menu settings.

E. Remove Brush
This brush will remove the effect that it is brushed over.

F. Brush Opacity
Click on the vertical slider area to access the brush's opacity control. As you adjust the feather controls, you will be shown a brush attributes window. This window displays the attributes of the brush such as size, opacity and feather.
