English term or phrase: dab
in deze context:


Anchor Dabs To: This pop-up menu, available when the Fixed Brush Dabs checkbox is deselected, defines how dabs are added to or removed from a paint stroke when the length of the paint stroke is modified. When the Fixed Brush Dabs checkbox is selected, dabs are anchored to the start and end of the paint stroke. There are two options:

Start: Adds dabs to or removes dabs from the start point of a paint stroke when the length of the paint stroke is modified. The first dab on the stroke remains fixed.
Start and End: Adds dabs to or removes dabs from the start and end points of a paint stroke when the length of the paint stroke is modified. The first and last dabs on the stroke remain fixed.

Explanation:
Een spikkel is een onregelmatige stippel.

When using an airbrush or image brush preset, the Paint Stroke tool creates a shape outline that is comprised of dabs. Dabs—analogous to the cells of a replicator or particle emitter—define the appearance of the stroke. While particle cells emit a variety of different particle types, airbrush paint strokes have only a single dab type. The dabs can be very close together or spaced widely apart along the stroke. The dabs’ color, opacity, spacing, scale, angle, and so on can be modified in the Inspector once a stroke is created.

kloddertje


Explanation:
Uit VanDale gehaald. Bij echt schilderen blijft er vaak een dikker stukje over bij het begin en einde van een haal. Ik vermoed dat de software dit probeert te imiteren.

Explanation:
Het gaat hier volgens mij om instellingen voor de aanzet van de penseelstreek in een programma zoals bijv. PaintBrush.

PS. Ik zie nu dat de term 'aanzet' wellicht minder bruikbaar is voor de vertaling van 'dabs' in 'dabs are anchored to the start and end of the paint stroke'. Mmm, hier moet ik nog even op broeden :-).

Kijk eens naar de volgende helppagina: http://helpx.adobe.com/nl/photoshop/using/creating-modifying...
Misschien penseeluiteinde of penseeldruk? Je kunt in ieder geval genoeg inspiratie opdoen op deze webpagina :-).
