Description Bollebib 2016-09-27 08:35:05 UTC

this is something we would need for example for image brushes ,where we select something from the canvas and want to reuse it ,like for example a head or complete character. This is a common technique in animation but can also be good for art to have very big brushes if your pc can handle it. Especially with big canvasses a limit of 1000 is too small.

It also helps to select the whole canvas,make a brush out of i then use it on another layer as an improvised "merge" ,as merging a single frame on an animation layer is a tedious task.


probably we would need an option next to the slider or in the settings,to unlock this feature to those who want it. I'm not sure this should be default.

Yes, we need to lift the limitation. I'm not sure how we should do this, though -- we could make it "smart" and have the max set to twice the size of the canvas, or we could add an option in the settings. It's going to be tricky to add a switch to disable the maximum in the toolbar, though, because a slider has to have a maximum.

A second size slider perhaps? that you can add in the toolbar settings?

another way would be like the brush pattern  scale dropdown of x1 ,x2,x10 to change the slider scale


not very elegant but it could work

I've added an option in the settings -- that's the easiest for now. It's now 10,000 hard max, but if you edit the kritarc file, you can add as many zeros as you want as long as you don't go beyond 2,147,483,647
