FEBRUARY 24, 2002 First Look: Photoshop 7 for OS X
These dynamics in some ways resemble Propeller Paint Engine from Nowhouse. However, Adobe did not acquire this technology from Nowhouse, but rather from another developer that had not yet brought its paint engine to market. By selecting one of the available dynamics categories, a new set of parameters appears in the palette, allowing you to select from a range of options. In the example above, "Shape Dynamics" reveals controls for size jitter, diameter, angle jitter, roundness jitter and minimum roundness. Each one of these options can be used as a static value or fade value or can be controlled via a Wacom tablet. In Photoshop 7, support for the Wacom tablet moves beyond mere pressure to include tilt (in the Intuos and Intuos2 series tablets) and airbrush wheel (for those who have a Wacom airbrush pen).

The Pattern Maker allows you to select an are of your image and create a tile of it. With any luck, this will be a seamless tile, though, with some types of images, it doesn't work out this way. To use the Pattern Maker, simply select an area of your image, as in the example below.
