Blur Brush Tool :: low affect, erasing preview (Metall)


Recommended Posts

The Blur Brush Tool works extremely subtle only and may show an erasing preview.
• It feels improved if in AP prefs the macOS feature 'Metall' is set to off.
• Regardless of this performance preference, setting 'Software' included, the tool appears not to exceed a certain amount of painted blurring and simply stops working then.

This issue was reported for v182 in the questions forum but there it's unclear whether it should be solved already.
