Paint brush bug

[MartinL]

Hi.

I get this annoying bug when using the paint brush. I made a macro for my logo and in this photo, the brush (for my logo) is not selected (the last one) but still being applied. Also, any way to unselect a brush when we're done? Because when I reselect the paint brush and want to include or remove elements when joining two photos, it applies the logo/brush instead.

Also, when cropping a photo and then applying my logo, the logo is somehow cropped too.

 

I found out I can ctrl+left click to unselect a brush but the bug still persist.

You deselect a brush by selecting another one, I think.

Yep, I think so, too. You select a new brush and then you will be using that one. But there might be a small bug.

[ Off topic:  You can (double click on any brush on the list, to permanently set its  properties and behavior) link a tool in such settings dialog/window. In the "general" tab, last drop-down item. If you click to deploy that, you can set what tool gets triggered just when clicking on the brush of  the list. IE, if you want a  brush for cloning (you can have several for several ways of cloning, etc), you can do so, and clicking on the brush on the list will swap you to clone tool, in your cursor. Now, is not exactly what you asked, but might help you to make a workflow that works for you. ]

But what you mention might be a bug. Sometimes, when selecting a new brush from the brush list, it does not take the new brush, you keep painting with the one you were using before clicking another. This gets solved by just clicking again on it, or several times (just not as fast as double clicking, or you'd trigger the brush properties dialog).

The bug happens rarely (but often enough to replicate it in 2 minutes), often when having painted more than one stroke. And is (temporarily)  fixed how I said.

I want to completely unselect a brush (those on the right of the screen) not select a new one. Even with ctrl+left-click, the brush is unselected but I can still paint that brush. ☹️

You can't deselect a brush like you want. Why not just pick a different Tool if you don't want to paint any more?

What tool do you use when merging two photos and you want to show some elements of one photo into the other?

The paint brush right (shortcut b)?

Yes, but you do not need to deselect the current brush. You just choose the one you want. That's something you need to do for each of the tools that have Brush in their name.

I am curious as to what you want the various Brush tools to do if they had no actual brush selected. Their raison d'être is to paint.

Except I can't since there's a bug.

What bug? You haven't explained that, yet. You've said it applies the logo brush instead, but you have not explained your workflow completely.

For example, where in the work you've described did you select the brush that you want to use?
