Introduction
Brushes is a painting app designed from scratch for the iPhone and iPod touch. Featuring a
simple yet deep interface, high-quality brushes, multiple layers, and extreme zooming, it is a
powerful tool for creating original artwork, anyplace and anytime.
Unlike other apps, Brushes records every brush stroke and erasure as you paint. Afterwards,
you can use Brushes Viewer, a free application for Mac OS X, to replay your painting stroke by
stroke. You can also export the painting at very high resolutions (up to 1920 x 2880), or export
the replay as a QuickTime movie.
This guide explains how to use Brushes and Brushes Viewer.

Viewing
When you tap a thumbnail in the Gallery, Brushes shows you the whole painting. Touches on
the painting will not modify your artwork, so you can show off your work without accidentally
changing it.

the Gallery.
Start editing
the painting.
Delete the

current
painting.
Display the action
menu. Tap here to
duplicate or export
your painting.
Go to the
previous

Navigating
When viewing a painting, you can go to the previous painting by tapping the left arrow in the
toolbar. To go the next painting, tap the right arrow. You can also move through your
paintings by swiping your nger over the painting.
To start a slideshow, press the play button in the middle of the toolbar. The slideshow starts
with the current painting, and advances to the next one after four seconds. To stop the
slideshow, just tap anywhere.
Deleting a Painting
To delete a painting, tap the trash can button in the toolbar. You will be asked to conrm that
you really want to delete the painting. If you do, tap the red Delete Painting button,

otherwise tap Cancel.
NOTE: Once a painting is deleted, there is no way to recover it.
Duplicating a Painting
Duplicating a painting is useful when you want to try some changes, but don’t want to risk
destroying the original painting. It can also be a handy way to reuse a background as a
starting point for a series of paintings.
To duplicate a painting, tap the action button on the left side of the toolbar:
Activate the
action pop up.

Painting
When you make a new painting in the Gallery—by tapping the New Painting button, or by
choosing or taking a photo—Brushes will automatically switch to painting mode.
You can also enter painting mode by tapping the Edit button in the navigation bar when
viewing a painting.
Return to
the Gallery.
Tap here to
stop editing
the painting
and return to
viewing mode.
Choose the
paint color.
Show the

The canvas.
Drag your nger
here to paint.
To start painting, simply touch the canvas and move your nger, as though you were nger-
painting. Each touch becomes a brush stroke.
The toolbar and navigation bar will automatically be hidden when you start painting. To show
them again, just tap once, anywhere on the canvas. Tap again to hide them again.

Undo and Redo
To undo the most recent change to your painting, simply tap the Undo button. Tap again to
undo the change before that, and so on.
Similarly, to redo a change, tap the Redo button.
Brushes remembers as many actions as it can t in memory, so you can usually undo many
actions, but you may not be able to undo all the way back to the start of the painting. In
practice, this is rarely a problem.
Undo Redo
Zooming and Panning
To zoom in and out, use the standard iPhone pinch gesture. Touch the screen with two ngers
at once—usually the index nger and thumb. Move your ngers closer together to zoom out,
and farther apart to zoom in.
Brushes can zoom from 70% to 1600% (and up to 3200% on the iPhone 4). While zooming, a
zoom level indicator will appear at the top of the screen. When the zoom level gets close to
100%, Brushes will automatically snap to 100%, making it easier to get back to normal.
You can also “pan”, or scroll, the image while zooming—just move both ngers in the same

direction. Once you’ve started a zoom, you can lift one nger to pan without accidentally
changing the zoom level.
