Ok, I'm drunk. ALT+CMD+SHIFT+Left Arrow Allows to flip entire document, so Canvas.

OMG! You're right! Never noticed this...

Hi! Go to Windows > Separated Mode

For horizontal canvas flipping I use ALT+CMD+SHIFT+Left Arrow Works bot in AP and AD. I'd add alpha painting for Paintbrush tool to the list. Now it works with CMD+paint but for pixel tool only.

It's a quick and dirty cut&paste... :)

I'd love something like this A sort of mix among mask refinement panel and a colour range wheel. With shortcuts for ranges, a picker...

This is a super feature, but I think that there are different contexts. The one included in COP9 is a tool designed to select colour ranges from a picture. The Colour Wheel available in AP is mainly designed to assign a colour to your Tool, a Palette, as an object property etc... You can use it in a similar way using the Select Sampled Colour form Select menu. Pick a colour (using picker or via direct input) Launch Select Sample Colour command and refine your tolerance using the slider The selection Marquee will change in real time. Than you can refine your selection using Refine Selection I think that Sampled Colour panel could be the right place for such a wheel behaviour.

Tablets work! So does Art Pen :) The barrel rotation is available only in Pixel Persona and Photo Persona (AD and AP respectively), and you have to select Roration from Rotation Jitter to make it work.

Complimenti per i lavori Robert!

I found a way to do it while searching for the iOS translucent effect. The trick is to use bitmap fill but it needs a duplicated layer...

Perfect to improve spoken language and pronunciation too. Well.. At least to me... :P

The position of the tool is pretty hidden, but can be customised too :) I placed it aside the arrow tool.

Oh man... This depicts me as a sort snobbish! :D Well deserved! Did you use any kind of reference?

A couple of bug I found: - In layer fx the combo Gaussian blur, Colour overlay and Preserve alpha active makes Colour overlay disappear. - Guides Manager with multiple artboards is unreliable, and calculates values starting from first artboard, not for current (on screen position is correct)

No global textures as in Painter, only brush-bound. But if you have seamless textures you can use Bitmap Fill to create a layer above (or below) your painting and blend them as suggested by Madame. The technique suggested by MBd can be found here, with a sample file included

The spherical mapping is definitely there... I just tried a pano bokeh and works. Would be nice to have mapping options

After some quick tests I'm just running a deep try of the Panorama persona right now. This is a pano bokeh I've done and seems to work pretty fine! It seems to work with spherical mapping. With exposure it does a terrific job... Blending is perfect.

Wait, wait, wait, wait... :) Reading this old thread carefully again the "new grayscale layer" sounds interesting... Does it mean that it will possible to have different colour sampling/depth per layer?

Do not despair! :) In AP you can save preset of any painting tool available, but can be done only in Brush editing palette. In preset list the icon of assigned tool will appear aside. I do not to use ribbon bar at all (only for alpha lock because curiously that property is there...). I'm a bit compulsive with presets, size included... So I tend to save anything and pick it from Brushes Studio.

Hi Mike, probably it is a stupid question, but did you save these tools as presets? My experience is the very same: when you create a brush you need to save it, because AP and AD don't store pending settings once closed. CSP stores these temporary somewhere, so you can call it back once launched, but if you change preset you're lost in the very same way. Anyway it is a more "conservative" approach. I think that a Save button aside Duplicate in the brush panel should be really useful.

I try to push the boundary a bit... What about an Alignment Studio dockable or floating around?

Hi Chrissie! Thank you for your question. Well... I think that both are suitable for digital painting and illustration. If you prefer vector design, AD will fit best your workflow but even if it offers the very same painting engine, in some cases AP gives you some more handy tools. This particular technique for example depends on Live Displacement and other Live Filters that are AP only. By the way thanks to the shared file format, you can open the AP file (available in my website) in AD and keep the live filters "alive" :) So as a starting base you can use this filter within AD non destructively too, even if you can't add further ones (you need AP to do that). I use both Clip Studio Paint and Affinity Photo for digital painting because their engines offer different and clearly peculiar vibes. In AD tend to keep vector stuff and UI design projects.

Lovely colour palette too here.

Sure! It is pretty easy. Create a 1024x768px file and type in your stuff (Name, Copyright etc...) with black, and/or paste your logo. Export as PNG or JPEG. Open Brushes Studio palette, click the burger in top right corner and select "New Intensity Brush". Browse to select your exported file and you're done.
