Auto-layering Separate Colours/Strokes in Pixel Brush Mode (Clipping)?

[awakenedbyowls]

Bit of a mouthful of a title, and maybe this feature already exists? It's certainly possible to do anyway in a roundabout way.

If only I'd had the foresight in my current design to separate layers out within clipped objects, so that altering the colours in my design is possible later. Rather than adding all the coloured effects into the one layer..

This of course involves creating multiple transparent layers of the object in question, and then later adding all the separate clipped layers into the same group within the object - which is somewhat laborious.

If the software maybe (like with Vector Pen stroke) just created a separate layer for each stroke in Pixel Mode then they could all be grouped together later as desired, and any unwanted stroke deleted - this would remove the need for creating multiple transparent layers while experimenting to get the right effect.

Maybe there is already a way to do this..

I'm asking because I created an effect for a design which looked good and then I wanted to experiment with different colours, only some of the clipped layers comprise both black and the colour. Is there a workaround to this maybe? I've tried using the eraser but it didn't work. Also tried recreating the same effect without success so far..

The only way is for you to insert a new pixel layer before you paint each brush stroke.

Or to work in Designer, instead, so you can use vector brush strokes.
