Must have! :-) Does this brush work a bit like a color picker (picking up color while smearing), or will it always apply the same pre-choosen color on high pressure? I'd love to see some demonstration strokes. I don't have Painter. > I haven't tried to create such a brush in mypaint yet, but from what I've > seen it looks like it may be achievable. The strength of the smearing can be mapped to pressure already, but there are remaining problems to fix. There is a hard transition between "smear only a tiny bit" and "apply color normally". I will try to improove this. Btw. MyPaint can't really "smear", it just changes the painting color to the image color. Seems to work good enough, though. > Another is a brush stroke that does not blend with itself. In GIMP, the opposite effect is called "incremental" mode (paintbrush tool). It should be much easier to implement this once layers are done. Personally I don't like the big difference between old and new strokes. In this mode I kind of loose something when I end a stroke. > Another (not so important) is the color chooser. I would prefer if the > triangle was stationary I never thought about that, but I agree with you. Maybe I'll play around with a new color chooser later anyway. This triangle dialog is part of gtk and many other gtk applications use it. Thanks for your other thoughts too, I adapted my priorities a bit. bye, Martin _______________________________________________ Mypaint-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/mypaint-discuss
