Hey Guys.

For years I have been waiting for what seems to be both:

A/ One of the most IMPORTANT functional additions that PS needs and B/ One of the EASIEST functional additions to add to PS.

And what is it: BRUSH DAMPING!!!
Just a simple variable slider like Painter has (NOT that totally ineffectual brush "smoothing" checkbox that PS currently has!).

Messy freehand line problems will become a thing of the past.

2D Illustrators will stop the migration to Corel Painter!!!

So why haven’t the Adobe guys implemented it before?

Worried that we’ll complain that it "slows down" the line drawing? No problem! We know that this is the nature of damping – it’s a trade-off with speed, and we can always slide that variable slider back and forth between 0% and 100% damping!

Worried that we won’t bother buying Ye Olde Illustrator for line work? No problem! We still need Illustrator for the more precise, technical work!

(And yes, I know that it’s high time that Wacom helped-out the Adobe guys by improving their tablet technology, but they won’t as long as they keep their aggressive monopoly of the tablet market.)

How many of you guys do their freehand linework either:

1/ on paper and scan-in or
2/ by using Corel Painter

How many of you guys would prefer to do it all in Photoshop?????

WHO’S WITH ME GUYS? 😀

Best, Rick.
