8 Test Stroke Parameters

[angier]

Create a 4 stack brush with round sizes large to small.

1. Test Stroke Parameters - Match each brush layer to a different PANTONE color. (See the attachment)
    On each brush layer:
    - Turn the Curve values all the way up for Hue, Saturation and Luminosity by moving the left bottom dot to the top of the box.
    - Change the Curve control to Pressure.
    - Import the "Hue Percentage Value with corresponding Number Value" Color Chart into your Assets panel.
    - Choose a PANTONE color. See the PANTONE HSL values in the Wheel or Slider panels. Change the brush control sliders to match.
    - Use the Color Chart for getting the Hue % value as close as you can to the PANTONE swatch.
    - Turn the overall brush color to black. Make a stroke.
    - If it's possible, please change the Hue Value slider to a Number value to make color matching easier. (See Recolor in Adjustments)

2. Test Stroke Parameters
    - Press the Force Pressure button and notice it only effects the foundation brush.

3. Test Stroke Parameters
    - Turn off Force Pressure.
    - Change each Sub-Brush position to "Behind the Current Nozzle".
    - Individually change the Size Jitter Pressure Curve of each brush. Make a stroke and take note of what happens.

4. Test Stroke Parameters
    - Do not change the Pressure Curves.
    - Change each Sub-Brush position to "At end of Stroke". Make a stroke and take note of what happens.
 
5. Test Stroke Parameters
    - Turn off the Pressure Curve of each brush.
    - Make the first Sub-Brush larger than the foundation brush and turn off Accumulation. Make a stroke and take note. THIS IS GOOD!
    - Close the Sub-Brush. Look at the main Sub-Brush panel and take note. The Sub-Brush is usable but the picture of the alpha is blank.
    - Can you make a place for naming the Sub-Brush Layers or show the Alpha names in this panel?

6. Test Stroke Parameters
    - Return the first Sub-Brush to its original size.
    - Make the size of the last Sub-Brush larger than the Foundation Brush. Turn off Accumulation. Make a stroke and take note.
    - Is there any way possible to make a Sub-Brush only effect the Sub-Brush of your choosing so it doesn't effect every layer?

7. Test Stroke Parameters
    - Return the last Sub-Brush to its original size.
    - Turn off Accumulation and Flow of the 2nd Sub-Brush. Make a stroke and take note of what happens.

8. Test Stroke Parameters
    - Turn on Accumulation and Flow of the 2nd Sub-Brush.
    - Turn off Flow in the Foundation Brush. See the new black box. Not good.
    - We should be able to turn off Accumulation and Flow in any brush layer including the Foundation Brush.

Thanks for paying attention to all this stuff. I know y'all have a lot on your plate to deal with.
