I've just been working with the new version. I think last night I was not being subtle at all and was thrashing the settings (to find what the extreme values would do).
But I think I have a better grasp of some of the other brushes. Brush 3 with a low bristle size and bristle count setting is good for getting some of that fine-grain turbulence I was seeking.
I sort of wish that Brush 4 could be toggled to use the stylus azimuth to affect the angle of the brush (rather than drag direction)
And if only there was some way for me to hook up either a MIDI message (0 -> 127) or a joystick axis(-32767 -> 32767) to brush size and the mouse smoothing.
For most people, a single dimension of brush pressure is enough. But for an idiot like me, there are times when I use a Spacenavigator to control brush rotation, one footpedal to govern brush size and another footpedal to govern brush smoothing, and finally, brush pressure to control opacity, all DURING the stroke, rather than having to stop the stroke and adjust sliders or hit hotkeys.
