real size visualization of the brush

Post by cumbaraquimbara »

Hi
I'm working with brushes(the classic tools,the brushes and the miscellaneous tools) and sometimes I can't visualize the real size of the brush while I have the mouse on the canvas, the only I see is the cross of the cursor. How I activate the view of this tools in real time to appreciate what I gonna paint???

What version are you using? When I create a brush (or used a pre-made brush), I get a picture of the brush under the pointer, and it changes depending on the size of the brush. Are you not seeing anything like this when you resize a brush?

When using the mouse, the brush shows the correct size, but when using a stylus that has the size connected to pressure or speed or whatever, the size will change dynamically based on that variable.

Somewhat out of context, yet close enough; it occurred to me you might not be aware of the choices of cursors TVP has to offer under Preferences>Interface>Cursor. See if one of the pens makes it easier for you to stay oriented with your point of contact.

The cross can obscure the brush if it's really small.
