Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if everyone has found this, so I thought I'd post it to have fun on a Friday :) If you add a Paint layer in iMaginator, there is a slider that can adjust brush sizes. That's probably not news to many of you.

But you can also double click on the number that represents the brush size, and type in any number you want. So, for example, if you want a size 200 brush, just type it in. Also, you can type in sizes down to 1/100th of a number. So if you absolutely have to have 27.3 as your brush size, but the slider only goes up to 25, then type in 27.3, and smile as you paint away! You can even have brush sizes down as small as 0.01, which is mighty small in my book! (smile!)

This level of control saves lots of screen space, as we don't have to sort through a whole range of brush sizes (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, ....) and only need to adjust one control.

One thing I've been looking for and have not found yet - is there a way to feather the brush as it paints? I'm sure there is, I just have not found it yet.

You can drag the slider to alter the brush size all the way across your screen. This is the attention to detail that makes anything Andrew does special.

At the moment I have found no way to feather the brush.

Holding the shift key locks the brush to a straight vertical or horizontal line.

Pressure sensitivity added for the Wacom Tablet would be useful as would a brush with a variable feathered edge. Other people need to comment so that Andrew can use his time wisely.

Thanks, Blond, I didn't know those things about iMaginator! :)

Please post other things you know or find or discover or create, it's fun to find out things like this!
