  • @chris-piascik

    The vector trimming needs another tap. When you double tap the center of the modifier will be blue, one more tap and the blue will go to the outside edge. That’s vector trimming mode.

    Perhaps I’m missing something but at the 930 mark you discussed your fifth tip, and I see that you create the stamp using pixel brushes, but I seem to be limited only to live brushes for the multi brush. Then when I use the touch modifier it turns the brush into an eraser… So what am I missing here? Thx for video

    But isn't it crazy that there's no visual indication about what the modifier does at any given moment...? We know it's 'on', but since it's different for every different tool, it would be very user friendly if it at least briefly says what it's doing now. 'Erase / Trim / position lock / multi-color eyedropper' etc.
