</div><font color="#999999"> It's a kind of "photoshop does it, why doesn't this app have it?" feature, I feel.</font></blockquote><div>I guess most users don't know what effect does each sliders, or how they affect brush result. </div>
<div>An auto preview system does improve experimenting for sure.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>

2) It might also be cool if this automatic stroke might be compared with the previous one. The same applies to the current color selection (is implemented in MyPaint).<br></font></blockquote></div></blockquote><div>About color comparison, this is for sure useful ; I propose : <a href="http://i.imgur.com/DaLN2yQ.jpg" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/DaLN2yQ.jpg</a> </div>
<div>( note : activating the raw in the 'advanced color selector' setting for color history is precious )</div><div>About stroke comparison : why not. I have no idea for how to make it fit the UI brush editor. This one is already too large IMO.</div>

3) When brush outline cursor is active, it is *very* difficult to do precise details, [ ...] That is why she had to activate "Small Circle" cursor to do the work.<br>
</font></blockquote>
</div><font color="#999999"> We should show a center dot inside the brush outline. I'm also thinking that we might have a cursor switch in the toolbar, because changing the cursor type is something that people do a lot.</font></blockquote>
<div> Yes, I agree. A toolbar button switching to an alternative cursor would help with some brushes. This alternative cursor could be choosen by user via settings ( drop down list ), but the 'small circle' could be a good default for it. For a brush shortcut , CAPLOCKS could be a good switch for it. I'm not sure if using CAPLOCKS would affect the Text tool ... </div>

4) Default brush presets [...] not optimal<br>
i) preview images don't have common design<br>
ii) no structuring and not much grouping among them</font><br></blockquote></div></blockquote><div>i) Next brush kit of Ramon and mine brings more consistency to the 'preview image'. With some guidelines for the design. We hope they will make part of Krita ( 2.7 and later ). </div>
<div>ii) Its difficult to do grouping ; there is no way to sort brush in Krita, exept sorting by name ; witch leaded to stupid name designs ( ex prefixing with A_brush for brush on top, or Z_brush for brush on bottom of list ) . New tag system refactoring introduced a new difficultie for brushkit creation : new saved/overwritten brush appear at the end ; and there is still no way to refresh all resources in Krita. So, we have to close/open Krita for each move. My next brushkit will not have particular sorting ; to preserve good name and clean filenames. ( ex : <a href="http://i.imgur.com/GjXTlyk.jpg" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/GjXTlyk.jpg</a> )</div>
<div>My actual color code : Green for textured / dark blue for classic / violet for smudge only / checker for eraser / orange to blue gradient for smudging (ex : <a href="http://i.imgur.com/aG0hpq3.jpg" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/aG0hpq3.jpg</a> ) ; I will try to match Animtim color code with next revision, while keeping green for texture and checker for eraser. ( Timothée color code aka : <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Black is "normal", white is "erase", dark blue is color-smudge smearing mode, purple in dulling mode, and light-blue for smudge-only; and then FX presets with distinct colors fx-related colors... ) </span> </div>

5) I was asked how to add a preset to the Right-click pop-up dialog. And I could neither answer this question<br>
nor find out how to do that. This is surely not obvious :(</font></blockquote></div><font color="#999999">
Use the "Save to palette" button in the toolbar.</font></blockquote><div>Two propositions : </div><div>i) Fill the right-click palette with default preset. Krita can't be delivered with an empty right-click palette IMO, it looks buggy and it's one of the first thing user will notice as performing a right-click on canvas is an elementary test (ex : <a href="http://i.imgur.com/QBvqw4o.jpg" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/QBvqw4o.jpg</a> )</div>
<div>ii) A little wrench icon on the right-click palette widget to access to 'Save to Palette' . </div></div></div></div>
