Taxicab Messiah Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Sometimes I find with a fully black brush and a standard brush style at full hardness and full flow with no blend mode enabled that hiding an image via masking behaves in half-measures and stutters as if I have a lower flow enabled. This brush should be completely hiding the elipse glow targeted with one click but it's not. Below is a visual aid to make my point. I'm using a normal round brush and trying to erase a glow effect from an ellipse shape but, as you can see, one tap of the brush produces a 50% removal instead of 100%. I've highlighted the relevant areas in red to show why I think I'm doing everything correctly. Obviously I'm missing something...can anyone find my mistake? (I am using vers. 1.10 btw) Quote
thomaso Posted January 28 Posted January 28 I can't tell what's causing the stuttering/flow behaviour but for masking it is useful to have "Wet Edges" disabled. Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
Taxicab Messiah Posted January 28 Author Posted January 28 I assumed Wet Edges was somehow related to hardness Quote

That depends on the brush -- a few are set to Set Wet Edges "on," as the default, a few are set to Set Wet Edges "off," & most are set to Don't Set Wet Edges which leaves the current setting unchanged. Note that as the help topic mentions, you can change for any brush: double-click on the brush in the brushes panel & from the popup Brush Editing [name of brush] menu you can change the wet edges setting (as well as blend mode & associated tool settings). thomaso and Taxicab Messiah 2 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.5.7 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7
