manu schwendener Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Hi New users (or demo users) of AP ask again and again where they can find the inpainting brush - and that's only the ones bothering to create a forum account for that question. I think it would help a lot if it was the default tool of the healing group. Alfred 1 Quote manuschwendener.ch
LilleG Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I spent some time in Preferences/Shortcuts and now I have the tools that I use most often reassigned to singular Shortcuts that are intuitive for me. Takes a bit of work to reassign/unassign the extra tools that are assigned to certain groups but it sure makes life easier. Quote
smadell Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I really don't like having to choose a tool icon by clicking another tool icon with a submenu. It just seems like it takes way more effort than it really does. I solved the problem for myself by using View > Customize Tools... and rearranging the Tools palette. I increased the palette to 3 columns and got rid of (almost) all the tool icons that have submenus (the ones with the little triangles). Then, I loaded the palette back up with individual tool icons (no submenus). I threw in a few dividers so that the tools I use all the time can be clicked on directly, and are grouped into fairly logical categories.

manu schwendener Posted June 24, 2016 Author Posted June 24, 2016 Those are good solutions - but my focus is on the first time users. They must have seen / heard about the inpainting brush (or they wouldn't ask about it), but then can't find it when they open AP. LilleG 1 Quote manuschwendener.ch
