    Steven, it does not. When you enable Show Edges after painting with both a soft and hard brush, you'll notice that both areas look exactly the same. It either applies the edge detection algorithm to a pixel or not.

Also an enthusiasm charismatic personality, no wonder those well-deserved subs, still think there might be some hidden funny bloopers.😅About the cloud remover, i guess it's a 'right to use - no distribution' thing.
