I have never really used the dry brush as it has always been painfully slow.
But if you turn stamp spacing off it paints about 500% quicker and is now very usable. At least it does for me.

Take it or leave it

Nice tip, I’ll give that a go next time I use it.

Personally I’d prefer a cavity mask that worked with the standard painting tools, then it can be slow to calculate once and fast to paint on using whatever brush size I like rather than being slow as I paint and forcing me to use a smaller brush than I want or the effect varies.

Good tip. I agree Robin, its pretty absurd that you often find you need to cover a large area with the dry brush set to a tiny size, as a result I’ve barely used it. I like the idea of having the brush in addition to a cavity mask function but the brush needs to have a depth setting you can adjust independently of size.

OMG THANK YOU!! This is exactly the kind of tip that i was hoping to find.

and YES its works MUCH faster now.
