How to set the smear tool in PS software to smear evenly

How to set the smear tool in PS software to smear evenly? In PS software, when smearing with the smearing tool, you can set the smearing uniformity in the following ways:

1. Adjust the hardness of the smearing tool: open the smearing tool tab and you can see a hardness slider. Adjust it to a lower value (such as 20%~30%) to make the smearing effect softer and more uniform.
2. Adjust the flow of the applicator: the flow refers to the amount of pigment released by the applicator each time, which can be adjusted to an appropriate value as required. Generally speaking, if you use a smaller flow, you can make the color more delicate and even.
3. Smear with Spline: If you need to draw a smoother curve, you can use the spline tool to smear. Select Spline in the Smudge Tool tab.
4. Smudge with layer mask: When carrying out complex smear operations, you can use layer mask to control the smear range, so as to achieve more accurate smear effect.

Through the above methods, we can better master the smudging tools in PS software, so as to achieve a more uniform and natural smudging effect.
