Re: Clone/Paint softness profile

I am not sure that another softness parameter is what you really want. In addition to the edge softness, paint tools also have a transparency setting. A high transparency allows you to 'build up' the effect of the tool over multiple strokes. By randomizing the strokes (i.e. not overlapping them exa...

Re: PWP Seminar(s)

Thanks for your approval Alain and aloomens... I will get started on some new videos and let you all know when they are ready. Since the idea was to perhaps start building a resource library of sorts, I will review the "Picture Window Tips" section of the Board and try to include suggesti...
