The color-mixer

I do not know, is this tool buggy or is this its normal behavior?

There is no 100% "opacity" with "sampled" material, even if strong/flow is 100%. In the opposite: by 100% strong there is nothing to see.

Another two questions: Is there any way to "automatic clear" (like the "c" does) by each new stroke and please could you make it "more layer" (sampling from below but "painting" to above?).

Thanks

 

EDIT: ok, i got it. I have FIRST to "sample" by a strong less than 100% and than set the strong to 100%, than it works like a sample-brush. Even of another new layer.  A little bit confusing and longwindowed for my taste, but at least working. Interesting tool!

 

EDIT 2: nope, this way to get 100% opacity works just sometimes, sometimes not. Seems to be a bug!

Hi Polygonius,

Which tool specifically is it you are referring to? If possible could you provide a video of the bug?

Thanks

Hope the quality is big enough. You will see: this time it wasnt not possible to get 100% opacity,  like sometimes. 

Regular round brush. Full opac/flow-setting. Only the spacing is big.

Ok, i experimented some moments more. I got the concept now. Maybe its the wrong tool for what i´m looking for.

I just looking for a "sample brush". Familiar to the clone-tool, but it holds the alt-click-selected "fill" as long in the brush, until i new "alt-click". The standard clone-tool dynamically moves the sample-cursor as soon i hold-move the mouse - the first click gives me THAT sample, but then, by dragging the mouse the sample-area will refreshed wich is useful for cloning, but not useful for this tool: For this tool i want the "sample" and only THAT sample keeping in the brush as long i select a new sample.

Nope mr. owner. This aligned off just allows that the first new-brush-click will start with exact this sample. If you draw further (within the "same stroke") the sample-cross will also follow (and taken new material). 

Its quiet near for what i´m looking for, but it isnt exactly. I´m looking for a "dynamically picture-brush" - i take a sample (with the shape of the current brush) and this sample is ALLWAYS keeping inside the brush, als long i define a new source as sample.With aligned the sample-source will move too if you draw a "stroke" not just a "click". 

The sample-cross should not move, even when "stroking".

yeah you got it and yeah thats painful ;-) But much thx for your interest. 

BTW is this your dog? I have also a "70% labrador" , and a little but ultrafast hunting, its a funny team :-)

Sweet. My lab is a wife and lab-untypically not a big friend of water (except on hot days the feeds and she seems to loves cocktails of muddy water, more than clear water... i have clean water directly beside the old-pool, she prefers the old one;-). My hunter prefers clear water to drink, but is more fun-water-affin, he jumps really into the "pool"

But my lab-girl loves also big branches

So bad, my pictures are so pixeled/blurred (its a shame in a picture-group) here... but i have now an iphone 2 - maybe that snaps better than my 20years nokia;-) (i´m just a desktop-nerd - cars, tv, cameras, phones and other pseudo-pc does not interested me, not even a centimeter

If my snapshots where so sharp/detailrich i would be really happy;-) Good enough for the magic of AP;-)

Do not know any about ISO and so on, but it seems the same session inside few secondes in a quiet similar angle/distance/light....

Why is the upper one so much darker than the top-one? Did you "develope" it in another style or did the half meter/ 5% new distance/angle creates this new "light"?
