Combo Paint Tool

I've an idea for a brush tool that could be very powerful.
What I'd like would be to be able to have a tool that combined the effects of several tools at once.
How to use this new tool:
Oil Paint:
A combo- brush that 1st smudges and then allies a typical brush.
Fire:
A combo-brush that applies the foreground color, then applies a dodge tool on highlights, then applies a speckle tool set to backgound color.
Leaves:
You could create a brush that used foreground color for the tops of the leaves, and the background color for the bottom of the leaves.
Complex ground:
You could layer several different sizes of brushes at once. Say you're painting a patch of cracked earth. You've got the large cracks as a large brush with a very wide spacing, then you've got a bumpy brush to add texture to the dirt, then you've got a grain brush for the micro details. Then you add grainy dodge and burn tools at the end to add color frequency.

I wouldn't say that it's an architectural nightmare, but it would definitely take some time.
I also think you should elaborate more specifically on each tool that you want. These short descriptions are hard to grasp.
For the purposes of this feature request, I totally support it, but if you actually want Adobe to implement this I think it deserves a much better explanation. Actually, I understand the 2nd tool perfectly, but the 1st one has me confused.

    It sounds like you are talking about the cloning tool?
    Tool looks like this:
    Then when selected you can change the size of the brush and using Alt (windows) and Command (Mac) to select your region you want to copy then start to create you cloned image.
    Hope this helps?

  • Please help me with the paint tool!

    Sorry for all the simple questions, but I'm having so many problems with Flash's drawing tools it isn't funny.
    What I want to do is draw a series of slightly diagonal stripes. In any other program, I'd use the line tool to draw the partitions and then use the fill tool to fill in the gaps. But in Flash, the paint tool won't do anything. It doesn't matter where I click - it won't work, and a little 'lock' symbol appears on my cursor.
    I know that an alternative way of drawing the stripes is to make a square, resize it and tilt it to exactly the right angle, but this is a slow and painstaking method, and I have to do a lot of them. Also, not all the stripes are perfectly straight.
    It's so frustrating, because I could do this in ten seconds with normal drawing tools, and I've spent about four hours already just trying to figure out this stupid little thing (because this stupid little thing is crucial to my project!). I'd be immensely grateful for any help. Likewise, I'd be very grateful for any help figuring out the brush tool problem on my other post. No matter how much I try and practice, I just can't figure out these drawing tools.

    I am having sort of the same problem but yours I think I can solve... is the layer locked at all?
    I can't fill in any drawing or shape that I draw out and it's a pain... Was wondering if this was similar to yours??

  • I'm new to Illustrator and I am trying to use the live paint tool.

    I have an image that I have outlined into different sections with the pen tool and now when I try to select the outlines and go into live paint> make, it prompts me with an error message saying "Selection contains objects that cannot be converted. Live paint groups can only contain paths and compounds paths. Clipping paths are not allowed." Is there a way to convert this so that I can fill in the selected areas with the live paint tool, or am I totally out of luck? -Not sure if this matters but I have a photo underneath the pen tool's outlines because I'm trying to edit it into more of a 2D geometric print which is why I need to live paint tool to help me fill in the shapes.

    Put the image on a new layer below the artwork and lock the layer so the image cannot be selected. Did you use a mask of some sort? put that on the lower layer as well.

  • Painter tool goes all over in Lightroom 2.5

    Haven't seen this issue posted, but my Painter tool is behaving more badly than usual.
    I am trying to reject scattered photos while in Library grid mode, using the Painter. Each time I click on an image with the painter, rejects the image ok, then bounces to another part of the screen and I have to scroll back to where I was. In fact, the screen continues to shift around so much that the Painter tool is stupidly dangerous. I have never found it to work as it should, but this is the worst!
    I have already downloaded LR2.5 approximately 8 times so far to fix issues - is that my only choice now?
    I'm on a Mac OS 10.4.11.
    Thanks,
    Deb

    Really? I had been told differently earlier and it seemed to help with the bugs during the first week of LR 2.5. Seems silly now however.
    I will try your suggest to delete the preferences since I have found that very helpful when Photoshop goes wacky. Does it work a similar way that you hold down cmd+opt+shift (?) when re-starting the app?
    Thanks,
    Deb

  • Problem painting / blending UV seams using 3d paint tool in CS4

    I am having a tough time blending seams on 3d objects in CS4. I create textures for 3d figures used in Poser, and Photoshop is my preferred 2d painting tool. Sometime ago, I bought CS4 pro thinking that the 3d paint  feature would enhance my workflow when developing textures. Unfortunately, I find the capabilities of CS4 to be somewhat rudimentary at best, so I am stuck using Deep Paint 3 to do blending. For example, when I try to paint over a UV seam with 3d paint on a wavefront .obj model the seam will not take paint. When I paint over the seam, a stripe is left several pixels wide  - whats up with this?  Do I really need to go back to the2d texture map to blend my seams/edges?  This seems somewhat useless as I originally bought CS4 to improve my workflow for blending edges and maps together. Is there a workaround that will allow the paint to actually be applied to cover the edges / seams, and preferably a number of pixels beyond?
    Another thing I noticed is that the blur/sharpen/smudge brushes do not work to blend edges either, in fact, when I try to smudge across an edge, I just contaminate image with stuff beyond the edge from the texture map. - if the pixel just beyond the edge is black, smudging just drags some black into my image. Is this really how this is supposed to work? Even using a normal brush seems to cause contamination too.
    Has anyone found a setting or workaround to fix this? Is the new CS any better?
    below is a simple example of the painting problem on a simple cylinder I loaded. The original texture map I was painting on was gray.. to demo the problem,  I flooded with red, which left a gray line at the seam. then went to a green paint and and did a couple of strokes with a brush. You can see that even simple brush strokes dragged some gray into my image. Am I missing something, or is this as useless as it looks?

    Yes, it's just the way it is. You probably have wasted your money and should have bought ZBrush or modo or Cinema 4D...

  • Trouble with sampling color while using paint tool... help!

    The other day, Photoshops started acting a little funny. Specifically, when using the paint tool, I'll hit option (alt) to sample a color to the foreground but it is sampling to the background instead. I have tried to reset all tools and no dice. Does anybody know how i can reverse this? it is screwing up my whole blending procress.

    With the paint brush selected, go to the Color panel, and click on the foreground colour so it has a feint white line around it.

  • Paint tool not working

    Hey everryone!
    I was wondering whether anyone could help me in this matter, I am quite puzzled to why the paint brush isn't working in after effects, whether I don't have the right setting or i'm pressing the wrong thing I don't know, sorry if this sounds like an easy question to some, anyone know where Im going wrong?
    tb Helen

    Hi everyone,
    Thanks for your input. I managed to master the paint tool,I think where I was going wrong was selecting the wrong panel. I have learned that for the paint brush to work, I must drag a solid layer into the layers panel, make sure the layers panel is selected then select the paint brush then double click on the composition panel to make it active for painting. Painting can be made into an animation using the timeline which is what I did. Using the arrow tool after this can alter the brush properties.
    Thanks again

  • Abap report painter tool

    I have to modify the report output in about 6 different reports thats written with ABAP.  I am looking for some type of tool to help me to rewrite the screen output. 
    It's very tedious to write the code using the 'Write AT'
    command because these reports have lots of columns on the screens.  I would be very helpful if I could find something that would allow me to paint the screens the way I want them and then it create the ABAP code.
    Thanks for your help

    Such a tool does not exist.  I agree, writing reports using the WRITE AT statement are very tedious to write and even more tedious to modify.  This is why I usually write reports presenting data in an ALV grid.  This way adding a column is really easy.  You will not find any such tool to help you layout a report using WRITE statements.
    The closest thing available is the SQ01 transaction where you are creating queries, here you have the ability to move columns around and add new columns using a semi-graphic layout tool, but again, this only works for queries, not other "report" programs.
    Welcome to SDN!  Please make sure to mark you post as solved when answered completely.  Thanks.
