I know the Cutbrush is a very common subject, and forgive me if this has already been posted before?

Regarding the use of CutBrush:
Often when I work with simple scenes and feel I can use the same shapes or volume from an already made drawing, I color the needed part blue and cut it out, then I press "ctrl+z" to maintain my original black lines. Now i still have the blue drawing cut-out attached to the cursor and I can then put it behind a desired drawing with the "Behind" function (shortcut; F3). Which is very handy as I now have an easy erase-able sketch and I can proceed with my frames.
Now the question:
Is there a function that makes your cut-out selection Blue/Red/Green? Or is there a panel where you can edit the cut out without having to stamp it somewhere on the screen and thereby loose pixel-quality?


Here it is illustrated with some examples in screen-caps:

Picture above: Here is my already made drawing

Picture above: Here I have taken the CutBrush and made it blue (as described earlier)

Picture above: Here I have placed the drawing behind my current sketch so I can proceed with touching up, without having to erase any lines but the Blue ones afterward.

By the way, I know that it is a function in the software Pap

This might help you:

After cutting out a brush, set it to Alpha Stamp instead of Color. Now you can pick any color you like.
You can also save blue/red/green color swatches in the palette bin or in a custom panel.

Thank you furushil,!

This will save me time in the future

I think it could be very helpful to have it as a "one-click button" so you would'nt have to press and hold to select the alpha function and then pick a color.
Maybe like this?:

why not to make yourself the "one clic" tool that you need ?
f.i. once your brush cut (freehand-cut or whatever ...),
turn your new custombrush in Stamp mode + select the Blue Color (from Blue-pencil)
could be embedded in the same button, like this : (of course, this button assignable to a hotkey),

idem for a "Stamp in Red" or "Orange", or another color from one of the sketch panels.

Dear ZigOtto!

You rock! Thank you.
I'm slowly getting more into making all my buttons from scratch, but I think you just made the final push for me. Thank you!
Cheers, Troels Brusen

my pleasure .

Just to sum up,
Here is the tool. Thanks to ZigOtto!
