In both Photoshop and SAI ALT Clicking a layer's eye icon will hide all other layers and only show that layer. Right now: I have to click each and every layer I want to hide one by one, it's rather cumbersome. It's a very fast and efficient way to hide a bunch of layers at once or show them. In SAI, it's possible to click the eye icon to hide or show a layer, hold the left mouse button (or stylus) down, and drag across other layers to match the visibility of that layer you started on. How about making this editing area smaller, to where only clicking the actual text triggers editing? It feels like it's too easy to trigger it currently. Clicking about 5px-10px around the layer's name kicks in edit mode too. I noticed that this edit mode seems to kick in when clicking a few pixels before the right edge of the layer thumbnail.

Right now: It feels very haphazard to click and drag layers, sometimes editing the layer's name, or putting it into select mode. Being able to select multiple layers would be great also. What about having a drag area for a layer, such as a cross hatched textured section next to the eye icon or on the right of the layer? Clicking this area would only drag the layer itself, not the whole layer pallet contents. Actually, it was only by accident that I could drag a layer into a folder and I was unable to do it again. Usually the grab and drag dominates over common layer operations, such as dragging the layer into a folder. I noticed it's very tricky to drag the layers around. Since this grab and drag works on the brushes and layer pallets, why not have it for all of them? Instead of being able to click and drag anytime, how about having a hotkey like CTRL enable grab and drag anywhere inside the pallet? Right now: the brush pallet ends up extending past the bottom edge of the screen and you have to close other sections to shorten the pallet window and reach that bottom section. The grab and drag behavior is very useful Right now: it's almost an all or nothing type of thing (aside from ignore TAB of course).īeing able to scroll up and down in the brush pallet in the same way the layers pallet works would be nice. It would be cool to be able to show a pallet near the mouse cursor with a hotkey. A lot of times the double click detection is way too fast and I end up clicking haphazardly to select a layer because a normal double click puts it into 'edit name' mode.

I just noticed that you guys seem to be working out ways to get the pallets out of the user's face in one way or another Please consider the 'hiding' behavior for pallets, it would give users the best of both worlds: a full size pallet when you need it and a full uncluttered canvas when you need to paint and not worry about the interface.īeing able to adjust the double click timing would allow the interface to work more consistently for each user. Yes, I've tried out 'ignore TAB' on the pallets I'd like to keep up. I have to hit the TAB key constantly as I work, which gives me either a tiny square of canvas or no access to the brush settings, layers,color, etc. Right now: I thought the dimmed opacity and size of each pallet was kind of cool, but it doesn't really clear out the working space enough (at least for me). This would make it where you never have to touch your keyboard to access a pallet, it would all depend on where your mouse is, just like a hidden taskbar would behave. Maybe have a section where you can drag pallets to stay as text or icons until the cursor hovers over one of them. I noticed that it has a ton of extra blank space. Or another way would be to have a simple text label for the pallet inside the 'tool options' bar at the top. The full pallet window would appear when the user rolls over this icon with the cursor. Or have each pallet turn into a small icon that you can drag around and 'clip' to a side of the interface. Perhaps it would be possible to select which edge it uses.

There could be a setting for each pallet (tools,color,layer,etc) to disappear when the cursor is away from the edge of the window, appearing when the cursor comes close enough and staying visible until the cursor moves off of the pallet. My suggestions are based on my experiences as an artist and as a programmer and I believe that Paintstorm can be a truly amazing program, it's GUI is already way ahead of anything Adobe or anyone else has put out.

I've coded several programs in AutoHotKey scripting language to either add to or improve the functionality of both of these programs. I'm also very familiar with Photoshop as it was my main program before SAI. So my workflow developed mainly from SAI.

I'm on a windows 7 圆4 machine, coming from Easy Paint Tool SAI as my main drawing and painting program.
