Hi.

In Photoshop there is a difference between the way paint interacts with the current stroke and previous strokes. So if you draw a loop and you cross the line where you started out, the paint interacts with
it in a different way then if you draw over previous brush strokes. This is counter intuitive, because in reality, if you use paint it doesn’t make any difference whether or not you paint in a single or multiple strokes as far as the way the paint interacts with paint on the canvas is concerned.

I’ve uploaded a short clip on youtube to illustrate my point, because it’s a bit difficult to explain it in words:

If anyone knows of any plugins that can circumvent this issue or perhaps knows of any other software that allows you to paint where this issue doesn’t occur, I’d like to hear about it.

Comments or suggestions are appreciated, kind regards, Niek

Welcome to the world of digital graphic manipulation, where the expectations of how reality works are thrown out the window. If it’s painting like you would for real you’re looking for then you’re looking for Corel Painter.

CHECK THE SELECTIONS check boxes IN YOUR BRUSH PALETTE for the brush itself set at 100% at top for opacity and flow neither stroke should have any transparency

it is too small to see the rest of the brush settings or what brush you selected

Forget Photoshop. You want Corel Painter the best natural media program available.

I use a wacom tablet to I use pen pressure for transparancy.

Yeah, quality on youtube is pretty bad.. I’ve found at stage6 you can store them in much better quality:

(I made that little tutorial in dutch, but it illustrates the quality of tutorials you can store there)
