Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Edit favorite brush preset
on: January 18, 2022, 12:28:02 PM
I do not think it is possible to edit fav brush preset, right? The way it is now we have to:
 - find fav brush in brush editor (good luck finding it, if u  forgot where 'original' brush was saved it)
 - edit brush and save
 - remove old fav brush version from fav list
 - add new edited brush version to fav list.
Damm its complicated.
I wish devs would add edit  fav brush button:

This wold automatically bring us to proper category and brush in brush editor.
Also it would be great if Fav brush - settings would be instanced/shared with 'original' (source brush) brush it was created from. Meaning if I edit 'original'  brush settings in brush editor, the fav brush will be updated too (this would save us from performing two last steps from list above).

The only downside of linking fav brus, to 'original' brush - there would have to be info when removing original brush :'U are going to remove brush which is also placed in Fav category. U sure?' or something like this.  If user select 'Yes' - then both 'Original' brush and same brush in 'fav list' would be removed.
Thx for 4.0 update btw.

When testing brushes I often go inside brush category just to then see it is disabled.
If category toggle button would be placed next to category name it would be easier to see what settings are affecting brush parameters:

New update looks promising, it is great we can dock most of the panels now.
a) I just wish we could save drawing space by merging few options into dropdown lists (I know there is another thread pointing similar issue - busy UI):

I picked options that are not used that often, so moving then into dropdown menu should not slow down the workflow that much.
Yes it requires removing panels titlebars - but they are redundant anyway - when I see color selector - I do not need titlebar saying 'Color'.
I also removed color preview in 'Color' panel titlebar - it is also redundant (we have color info shown in 3-4 places - left slider panel, in top right corner, in color selector wheel/square and lastly in color selector titlebar - wtf).
b) Also it would be great if selecting fav brush, would highlight it in brushes panel list, so I can easily edit it.
c) Please revers finger gesture - for size / opacity directions - it is way more convenient to use up/down direction for size. IMO adjusting alpha is less used, so it can be left/right slide.
d) Lastly it would be great is brush options for enabling/disabling Jitter,Patern, Aux stamp , dynamics etc. was moved from inside of those individual categories, to one level up - next to category name:

I often click on category just to see it is disabled.

I think when I enable 'Size tilt effect' spacing should be scaled together with dab size. Right now 'Size tilt effect' only increases brus size, but spacing stays the same.

In very latest update (2.2.8? ) when I have  circle brush tip selected, and brush size - linked to both pressure and tilt, the brush tip is getting squashed (more elliptical) when tilting pencil. Textured brushes tips are not affected and work ok (they mantain proportions).
Update:
This bug is still there in 2.2.9 update.

I tried the latest update with speed bust for flat wet  brushes.
After painting for few minutes, brush (mabe canvas? ) is getting corrupted and I can paint only black (current color is ignored). Reopening document helps for just another few  strokes. Then brush color goes black again (the selected color stays the same eg. yellow, just brush outputs black color).

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / New color blending
on: July 18, 2019, 01:44:06 PM
Hi, I saw new Borodante video about AS Pro 2.2 and new average blending looks great.
I remember he mentioned it is going bit slow for big brushes (600px) even with metal support.
I wonder are you using subsampling for color blending? Maybe this can bump the performance without visual quality loos. 
There is one cool doc about it: http://extremelearning.com.au/evenly-distributing-points-in-a-triangle/
Picking 100points, vs 600x600 points should provide speed boost right (I assume this is the most time consuming part).

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Pencil offset
on: July 10, 2019, 04:26:59 PM
IMO pencil offset is bit too much when shading with tilt, especially for big brushes. That was the first thing I noticed immediately when shading in Artstudio. Left is Artstudio.
Right feels better (Procreate or Infinity Painter):

Because of that I find myself constatly painting in wrong spot, and the shading is applied to much toward pencil center.

Great update 2.2 congrats.
I wish for new option for Aux color - auto pick from initial pen position.
Basically it would pick color under stroke, before first brus dab is applied, so that we could blend with background color under cursor.
Right now if I have red background, and paint with yellow, aux color would blend to default wite color.
With this new option aux color would be automatically set to red, so that  I could blend with it.
BTW. you have the worst captchas in this forum in the world :D

I’m new to iOS and I tried procreate and Artstudio, and already I like artstudio more.
One thing that was bit hard to get, was: In other painting softwares usually user has brush preset,  and this brush preset may use one of few paint engines (in AStudio: pencil, paint, wet paint).
Problem I have is, I made wet brush preset but I can’t save it as such. I have to switch constantly between brush engines, then brush preset (I imagine it will be hard, after some time, to remember which brush preset used which brush engine). So I just wish for brush presets to have option auto-set preferred brush engine.
Also I noticed bug, when selecting Fav brushes (star icon), brush engine always resets to Paint.
