Brush Creation list.

[arob]

I've really been working with Affinity raster brushes lately and I am humbly submitting my list of needs and wants for the Brush Creation window.

Thank you for considering my suggestions.

 

• Need a "Duplicate Sub-Brush" option.

 

• Need Sub-Brush sync options to Main Foundation Brush. (ie. Size Jitter, Accumulation Jitter, etc.) When you change the Size Jitter curve on one brush all Sub-Brushes have to be individually changes.

 

• All curve windows need a "make bigger so you can see it better" option and graph numbers for precise control.

 

• Curves desperately need a save, copy and paste option in the Brush Control window.

 

• Need an opacity option for each Sub-Brush layer.

 

• We really need a "flip alpha" option so we don't have to store 2 png's of alphas facing different directions on our computer system.

 

• Name and size needs to be displayed under all the alphas inside a brush so we can easily find the alpha on our computer system.

 

• Wish there was a drag and drop alpha into the texture panel of a brush from the Assets window.

 

• When a duplicate copy is made of a brush, the name of that brush needs to transfer to that copy.

 

• The name of the brush that is being used ALWAYS needs to be displayed.

 

• In the Sub-Brush window the Wet Brush and Curve options need to be turned on please!

 

• Hue, Saturation and Lightness doesn't work when Accumulation isn't at 100 percent.

 

• Every time we change the base color in the main brush it changes all the other Sub-Brush colors which makes you have to change the hue, saturation and lightness on all the other Sub-Brushes which is a little time consuming.

 

• The Hue Jitter needs to start at the same place every time instead of being subject to the Main Foundation Brush color.

 

• Please add RGB, CMYK & grayscale color options to Sub-Brushes so each brush layer color is independent from each other. (Or you can keep it simple and add a hex code color option.)

 

• Hue Jitter needs individual color cycle controls (maybe a "gradient" box control). It's too hard and time consuming to make the Hue Jitter cycle through 2 or 3 individual colors from the curve control box, as well as, control the timing of the delivery of colors on the stroke.

 

• All "Jitter" controls need some kind of timing control, especially for the cyclical option. 

 

• Size Jitter needs a "transform object from selected point" square so alphas grow tall and/or get short from a specific point instead of throwing the alpha into various sizes from the middle of the alpha only.

 

• In the "Direction Jitter" control options, we need curve profiles for making sharper and/or smoother/tighter direction turns.

 

• When a gradient alpha is used in the Sub-Brush as an overlay - banding and unwanted color changes occur. Painting in the Lab/16 color profile is preferred when using layered brushes with shadows.

 

• Layering of Sub-brushes with hue, saturation or luminosity doesn't work properly when a Size Jitter is applied. The Sub-Brushes skip and will not work unless the "apply at end of stroke" is used. This problem might just be on my personal computer system.
