I recently started using a Bluetooth keyboard when drawing/painting. Its great! However, In the manual there is a section of keyboard shortcuts called 'additional shortcuts' where brush size and other parameters can be set with 'held' key combos such as ctrl+option, but that section isn't in ArtStudioPro editor.

Since it is now in gestures section rather than the shortcut editor, I guess its not possible to customize it, but it would be great if that were an option. I'd like to have single key for changing the size as its much easier than having to holding down two.

Switching brush tools:
Similar to how the layers flash to indicate which layer is active, quickly displaying the selected brush stamp on screen when switching tools (and therefore size) will be useful. This will show the user if brush needs to be resized or not without having to make a stroke and possible undo if it's not the right size. The amount of time the stamp will be displayed would be adjustable like other settings such as eye dropper long press delay.

Resizing brush tools:
I don't find the brush display (dark square) all that useful and prefer the cursor to be near my fingers when resizing like the elastify tool (when cursor outline is on). This way brush size can be gauged over a specific area. Currently the brush stamp stays at the last stylus position.

Art studio pro has options for showing cursor/brush style given various conditions, but if you don't like the cursor visible when applying paint and set it to none, you lose the ability to see the outline near your fingers when resizing the brush or elastify tool. An option for showing the brush cursor when resizing (and hovering if available) but not when painting would be great.

Help / Using Automatic back up?
on: March 06, 2023, 11:26:59 PM
Is anyone using iCloud or Google Drive for back up? I've tried both settings and neither seem to upload any files. Any info on setting this up would be great.

In the Beta 903, I can't seem to get 'behind blend mode' or 'behind mode (temp)' to work.

Works in release version.

Suggestion: Add option for 3-finger swipe down to confirm a modal, and swipe up to escape a modal.

When using Elastify, Color Fill, or Transform type modals (or even Lasso), in order to confirm or escape the modal, a fairly small icon in the sidebar (or also on canvas in the case of confirming lasso selections) has to be pressed. I think it will be more convenient and faster if user could 3-finger swipe anywhere on screen to confirm/esc modals. 3 finger swipe seems to be disabled during modals now anyway.

Suggestions, Ideas, Bugs / Beta Bug: Panels 'Frozen'
on: February 09, 2023, 01:55:08 AM
In the latest beta (900) I've found that panels often become frozen and cannot be moved (after touching/dragging to keep it open). Other buttons and features in the panel work, like closing or selecting layers, but moving the panel around doesn't. If I close art studio, when I reopen it panels will work at first, but soon become frozen again.

To repeat this, open art studio, open the color panel, drag the color panel to keep it open (so the dot appears). Then, try to move the panel again - it won't move (finger or pencil).

What does the option 'Switchable Tool Buttons' do in the quick menu?

Help / Selecting a Favorite resets current brush size
on: January 20, 2023, 02:12:22 PM
Is there a way to make the user created Favorites brush size not reset to their saved size when selecting them?
Like when creating a Favorite, there is an option to save color (or not) along with the brush. Could saving the size be an option as well?
