Frances Proctor Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hi all maybe this has been asked before but I couldn't find it But I would like to create an intesity brush using different greyscales so that when painting with the brush you would get different shades or saturations of the colour so say a brush made from 3 dots one black one a dark to mid grey tone and one with a lighter grey would yeild a brush that when you painted with it in your chosen colours say a brown tone you would get a brush that painted in three shades of brown based on the greytones in the brush texture. Is this currently possible? Quote Follow me on Creative Fabrica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 When you create an Intensity Brush the different grey tones determine the opacity (black = fully opaque, white = fully transparent) which would give the effect of different shades when painting on a neutral background, but it sounds as though you want different shades at full opacity. I’m afraid I don’t know of a way to achieve the latter.

Frances Proctor Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 When I create an intensity brush using the "create brush from selection" method all shades of grey create the same opacity level when I use the export png create new intensity brush method then it works as you describe. hmmm...... I'm using the latest release version, perhaps I've found a bug? I think I will test this out further in the current beta and see what I find. if it still happens in the beta I'll post full steps and screenshots in that forum In the meantime, yes I was hoping that there was a way to create the brush so grey scales could be set to saturation values instead for example black would be fully saturated and white would be fully desaturated. but I suppose could get the results I'm after by creating full colour image brushes Quote Follow me on Creative Fabrica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
