Faster brushtip registration if you have to process heaps of brushtips.
Create Brush:
(For one brush tip)
- Place all your brush tips in a heap in the middle of the canvas
- The auto action is set up for a brush tip size of max w=300mm, h=100mm!
Your brush tips should not be larger than this!
(Crop around the pile and check the canvas size. adjust the brush tip size if needed.) - Name the layer so you don’t have to name the brush tip later
- Don’t forget to set the layer to grey if you want your brush to be able to paint in different colors!
- Activate the auto action
- Save the brush tip
- Done ^^
(The auto action can be changed for larger brush tips to 1000mm2.)
Create Brush bulk (80):
(For up to 80 brush tips)
- Place all your brush tips in a heap in the middle of the canvas
- The auto action is set up for a brush tip size of max w=300mm, h=100mm!
Your brush tips should not be larger than this!
(Crop around the pile and check the canvas size. adjust the brush tip size if needed.) - Name the layers so you don’t have to name the brush tips later
- Don’t forget to set all layers to grey if you want your brush to be able to paint in different colors! (There’s another auto action for this, which turns up to 80 layers to grey in one click!)
- Select the top most layer and activate the auto action… BUT...
the auto action can NOT be stopped once it’s running! It only stops when it can’t make a selection on the paper layer.
Only start when you’re really sure everything is set up right!!! - Save all the brush tips
- If you have a layer which is not intended to be a brush tip, click [esc]
- Once it reached the paper layer it will ask you if you want to proceed.
Click [No]. - Tada! SPEED! (at least a little bit more…)

(The auto action could theoretically be changed for larger brush tips to 1000mm2…
but you would have to check the secondary canvas size setting and uncheck the current one 80 times… and the auto action will run slower afterwards… so only do that if you reeeeeally need to register live elephants ^^)
