@StuartRc Can you explain? Or can this only be done in the BETA version 2.1...... Thanks.

THANK YOU. BRILLIANT. I could never have found this myself, using the help section does not help at all unless the user is very skilled already or very technical. Have a very nice day. Yolanda

FOUND MY SOLUTION. FX: 1px and PRESERVE ALPHA turned on.

In layer 1: for the example I put in 3 different layers within the shape of the leg of the calamari. The stroke layer is the problem: the edge of the base curve get jagged (pixelated). When I put in a shape (fill curve, no outside line) it is fine. And when I change the stroke to the Expand Curve operation, it is fine as well. When I change the line into a vector brush line with a fance shape, it will also accure. (for example Acrylics-acrylics stroke 01) Zooming in and out, it is still visible. FX gaussian blur 0.1px also saves the edge, but the line (like acrylics) is less sharp of course and not what I want. Can anyone reproduce this? Is this the programm/software? Windows 10 - nvidia card Geforce gtx 1650 Thanks, Yolanda calamari.afdesign

Sorry, to not reply to you sooner. I think it was a glitch. I deleted the brush. closed AD and after opening I created the brush again. So far I have not witnessed it again. Still learning................... happy greetings from the Netherlands

btw AD on windows 10 with nvidea card

Is this behavoire known in V2 AD? I made a vector brush of 1500px long. When applied, and my point are 100 wide, the stroke will be an arrow instead of my stroke. When starting the brush tool, it first will be an arrow, but the vector stroke will change when the distance is more than 300px or so. I just need to know if Serif is aware of this, or should I officialy report this to them? THANKS btw not all brushes will do this, so I just edited this message with my self made brush. Can some of you please test this, or show me what I am doing wrong? YOLANDA Brushes bug.afbrushes

PRETTY SMART! Thanks.

Many thanks, Stuart. You have a special folder on my computer with LOTS of your generous freebies. Have a nice day. Yolanda

Hi again, I tried to use the rectangular marqee tool, made it a few pixels smaller. And set feather to 0 px and antialias off. But still there is a small line between the squares in the pattern. Less, but not seamless anymore. Bug? Or did I miss somewhere something? thanks. Yolanda

What am I doing wrong, to get this effect instead of a beautifull filled pattern? I made a rectangel, filled it with a style and rasterised it. Layer- new pattern layer from selection and this is what i got. I do not want the 1 or 2 pixel lines. happy greetings, Yolanda

YES, that is the difference!!!! Got it. I tried to duplicate the letters and the rectangel in my workspace to excersize this. I just found out, that if you use a brush in a pixel layer, and then RightClick 'mask to below' it works as in your worksheet. ( @Dave Vector ) But starting with a vector shape as I did, you have to first 'rasterise to Mask' and then 'mask to below' the difference is the vector shape as a mask and a pixel layer as a mask. THANKS @anon2 Yolanda

Very Helpfull, thanks. BUT, I have to do 2 things on layer 4. First RightCLick 'Rasterise to Mask' and then 'Mask to below' to get the number 4 effect. If I don't Rasterise to Mask, I get number 2. And I still don't know the difference for adjustment and live filters. Do I drag them ON the tumbnail (number 2) or do I clip them (number 3). Can anyone clearify that for me? Happy greetings, Yolanda

@Rabalias, I am following this thread with great interest. I thought it was me that did not understand these brush settings due lack of expertise and feeling very blond at times. I just found out that if you set the opacity at a brush, DUPLICATE the brush, the opacity is now in the NEW brush settings. If I adjust the opacity and close the brush or use the X in de top right corner of the brush panel, it does not. Or sometimes it does. Or not....... I am missing a SAVE button, so I am sure the adjustments will stay in the brush. At least, this happens op Windows10 PC. For now I am setting the flow and accumulation both at the same % when changing anything, including under dynamics: the jitters. For me, that seem to work. FOLLOWING.... Greetings, Yolanda

Pretty intriguing.
