nudge a cutbrush?

[KenC]

Is there a way to stamp the cutbrush and then nudge it a couple pixels from the original position via the keyboard and stamp again?

I use this a lot for textures with texture brushes, stamp, change lightness, stamp again a couple pixels offset depending on where the light is comming from, but it's hard to be presize enough with the hands so I end up undoing a lot until I get it right. I could duplicate layers and offset them from eachother but that's a lot more work.

I've used the keyframer for this kind of thing before, using also UNDO until I get it right.

And you're right, you could duplicate layers and nudge with the transform command if it's only a pixel or two.

I was searching around a bit and stumbled on a post by ZigOtto that solves this problem:

create and name these 4 buttons :
- a) [Pan X-] with action = [command : tv_Panning -1 0 0]
- b) [Pan X+] with action = [command : tv_Panning 1 0 0]
- c) [Pan Y-] with action = [command : tv_Panning 0 -1 0]
- d) [Pan Y+] with action = [command : tv_Panning 0 1 0]

After creating the buttons they can be assigned to a shortcut with control+k.

Lastly bind a key to Tools:Draw dot

Now I can simply place the brush around the area where I want it, nudge the whole canvas and hit my draw dot shortcut. So instead of nudging the brush you nudge the canvas instead.

hehe ... clever workaround !

Although it strongly reminds me of one old lightbulb joke: how many East Frisians do you need to change a lightbulb?
5.
One to hold the bulb, 4 to turn the table he's standing on.
