I don’t know how to describe this well. Basically, if you hold left click or whatever and make something with a lower opacity, let go, then do the same thing, the two things with a lower opacity overlap and the thing has a higher opacity… Something like that… How do you make it not overlap without making a new layer?
Apologies for the bad descriptions. I am bad at describing things.
try changing the blending mode [of the brush] from normal to greater.
Maybe this thread is of some help:
Greater blending mode doesn’t help me at all. (Could it be because I’m using a background?) I’m still having the same issue, even with Greater blending mode.
Try using it without a background colour on the layer and see what happens.
Exact same thing. Greater blending mode has not done anything to help me so far.
Copied from a reply on reddit. “Is the layer you’re painting on opaque? Greater blending mode only really works on a transparent or mostly transparent layer. It only paints on a pixel if the transparency of the painted pixel is greater than the canvas pixel.”
this kinds of works:
set your brush opacity to 50%, set your brush blending mode to “alpha darken”.
Create a new layer. now paint with several strokes. You’ll get the effect you want (no overlap). When you have finished building the shape, you need to merge down the layer. Then create a new layer and repeat (paint again).
(This would be better if you had a single shortcut key which did “merge down” and “create new layer” with a single keypress. A script could be done to do just that.)
Alpha Darken seems to work for my drawing, but what about erasing? Neither Greater nor Alpha Darken work with an eraser.
I made a plugin to do just that. here is a video to illustrate it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Muz3o2Wuoi4
