Workbench i agree those are just tweeks i just mean a complete overhaul would be pointless… there is painter for that and most of us use both
Indeed but it would mean less swapping of the image files and the small troubles that come with it like un supported modes between painter and Photoshop .
If Photoshop can come up with a blending engine to go with its awesome brush engine ( which AFAIK is borrowed from the painter brush engine but is more intuitive and has lesser settings to tweak ) then it would mean that I spend lesser time in painter and more in Photoshop which is what I would prefer.
The blending option can simply be turned off when desired. Whats wrong with that ?
