Maybe make the color generator a built in tool

I was scrolling through this thread and really like how the radon pack clone brushes can created mix colors.
I feel like this technique deserves more visibility/intergration. I picture having it as a tool almost like the reference picture tool.
You could create like a zone for color picking. When this zone a color generator brush tag drop down menu could be click to select from these brush to draw in the small zone.

If you plan on using the Radian brushes their brush pack can let you get a very similar multi color effect as that image. First make a little texture somewhere on your canvas using the “47_texture_generator” brush. [image] Than select any of the clone brushes with the purple icon and color pick the previous texture you created [image] You can also do it with the brush mode set to gradient map

There has already been a thread about implementing a feature to load multiple colors at the same time in a brush by combining the colorsmudge and clone brush engine One of the developers are already interested in possibly developing this feature in the future

[Proposal] Combine Colorsmudge and Clone Brush engines

Hi, @all! I’ll try to sum up the options, which are possible to implement: Option 1: Add a “dynamically picked brush tip” into the set of our brushes You just select a “Dynamic” brush tip in the brush editor, then press some shortcut and the brush loads some area of the canvas into the current brush. That is something like our “clipboard brush” works. When picking, the brush will pick only color information from the canvas. Alpha and lightness channels will be picked from the predefined brus…

That does sound cool.

I was thinking one approach could be to record a stroke first and then the path it took could be merged/overlapped with the picker area. Then make a second stroke in the same area except his time you apply this new animated picker.

I don’t mind making two strokes each time.
