Question on new (2.8) paint dynamics
I have looked at some of the previews and devel paint dynamic reports/reviews and still have a couple questions.
In amongst all those settings is there any "trace a source layer" as an option?
Like ID a greyscale source layer and have the brush dynamics follow that (i.e. brush size or opacity based on the value of the source layer at that point)?
And along with that is there a brush dynamic to control the gamma of a brush while painting? (This would be much like hardness for parametric brushes but for colour (stamp) type brushes would have some value).
Thanks in advance-

No. and there wont be one in this iteration either. Its nontrivial and probably pretty slow to access pixel under cursor for dynamics evaluation and the whole thing needs to stabilize first. there are other simpler dynamics inputs that are proposed, but not happening for 2.8, like the position of the cursor in the image.

What do you mean by gamma? There is the Force output. It tries to emulate the force a brush is applied to the canvas with, that saturates some parts of the brush when applied. It has been part of gimp for ages, under the name of hardness but it is not really hardness as used in vector brushes so it has a new name now.

I will have to play with the force setting. I a looking to have a pixmap brush be lighter or darker based on brush pressure. Maybe explained like a dynamic dodge/burn applied to the brush source while painting?

Features apart, Rob, you can use some sort of "source layer" tracking by using the clone tool instead. Just use it in registered mode, and explore the painting modes/ painting on the layer mask, etc...
