Krita has several brush settings. If you make a brush you like in pixel brush,and you want to use it to smudge,you can't. You have to go to smudge brush and reset all the possible settings to get the same/similar brush but with smudge options Spray is another brush sytem with some settings that wouldn't be amiss in the pixel brush,and I'm sure there are a few more. It would be nice to have those interesting settings in a certain 'master' brush system that is as versatile as can be. The "simpler" brush systems would still have value as a more focussed experience of those brushes and their settings.
copy/pasted the discussion we had about it as a log to help show what's been discussed already. 15:14:56 - Bollebib: i was wondering bout krita's brush system 15:14:56 - Bollebib: i love the many options ofcourse 15:14:56 - Bollebib: but often times I'm working with a brush,and the settings I have are all fine,but I just wanna add one particularsetting,and I can't,because that's a different brush system... 15:15:06 - Bollebib: unless I'm missing something 15:15:35 - Bollebib: for example if I got a great pixel brush,and I want to smudge with those settings,is there a way to do that? 15:15:36 - boud: yes, that's possible 15:15:45 - boud: eeks 15:15:54 - boud: I was too like typing enter, that was meant for your preview question 15:15:59 - boud: no, it's not possible 15:16:31 - Bollebib: *sadface* 15:17:17 - Bollebib: Maybe there should be one masterbrushsystem....that emulates common settings from different brush systems =D 15:17:26 - boud: best make a wish in bko, then it's at least registered 15:17:40 - boud: well, yes, but it also makes it really hard to add new brush system, if everything has to be in the same system 15:17:47 - boud: that's the problem with corel painter 15:18:09 - Bollebib: well the value of the seperate brush systems is it's selfcontained easier to find 15:18:11 - boud: but it won't be too hard to copy a bunch of settings from one engine to another, as long as those settings are supported in the other one 15:20:23 - Bollebib: the different systems still would have their purpose,imo,because they would be probably better at that function,because it's more focussed 15:20:23 - Bollebib: but I see value in being able to add some of the best settings of those brush settings 15:24:06 - dmitryK: boud: probably, Bollebib wants only to copy the brush tip settings? Bollebib is it so or you want something more complex? 15:25:38 - Bollebib: mmmh,it's hard to say 15:25:38 - Bollebib: but I assume if brush tips,brush size and other settings would carry over to another brush system that would help 15:25:38 - Bollebib: but I can see it not working due to some systems not certain settings 15:26:30 - Bollebib: but wouldn't that also be more difficult then just to copy some settings over? 15:26:44 - Bollebib: cause I just mean a few common ones like smudge 15:27:10 - Bollebib: the grid and dyna brush and so on,don't think you CAN add those settings to a normal brush 15:27:17 - Bollebib: but smudhe is so common 15:28:28 - Bollebib: Spray seems like it could also be useful to apply to normal brushes 15:28:52 - Bollebib: also "common" feature 15:29:15 - Bollebib: so I dunno what would be the best solution... 15:29:56 - Bollebib: in my mind,adding good options to a m""master" brush system seems like the simplest option 15:33:41 - dmitryK: Bollebib: well, make sharing of the Brush Tip settings is not very difficult. Although it might need some UI design a bit 15:37:04 - Bollebib: that is a possibility 15:37:04 - Bollebib: and that would certainly help in some cases 15:37:45 - Bollebib: but that will not bring over custom pressure or rotation settings,no? 15:37:45 - Bollebib: or by brush tip do you mean everything related to that? 15:38:41 - boud: even the other settigns aren't hard to copy 15:38:45 - Bollebib: it's kind of like the brush modes,actually 15:38:45 - Bollebib: any brush can become an eraser,and it has the same settings 15:38:45 - Bollebib: or can paint behind 15:38:56 - boud: most brush engines use exactly the same option objects 15:39:07 - boud: it's the actual paint strategy that is different per engine
Ack... This needs some good thinking, though.
Maybe "save settings as template" and then add a "load template" button?
Sorry, we will not in the near future get down to this, it's just not feasible with the available resources. WISHGROUP: Out of scope
