Activate the FX Brush tool and choose the Energy Brush from the drop-down list.

The Energy Brush leaves a trace that looks like a ball of energy with a bright center surrounded by sparkling dust. You can adjust the color of the glowing contour, while the center always remains white.

Choose the brush color in the Color, Swatches, or Color Wheel panel, or from the image with the Eyedropper tool. To pick a color sample, press and hold the I key and then click the image with the Eyedropper tool. After the hotkey is released, the painting tool becomes active again.

The basic tool settings are shown in the Tool Options panel above the Image Window or by right-clicking on the image.
