Do it your way, taron!
I just can suggest. There'll be always requests for these and that.
I don't want verve to be photoshop - I love it - you know that best, but this behavior is not communicable to new, and even old users, as it is not logical from a users point of view. Only annoying.
99% of the users don't care about maths or programming at all and they don't like workarounds - most of them will never find workarounds, as they already switched to another app they are used to before fiddling around.
This alpha issue simply looks like a bug, still.
Let alone the "memory effect" one have with erased and over painted areas. where the structure of past and erased brush strokes appear again and can only be heavily smudged away.
If you would like to go commercial, taron - I think it just should work like expected, otherwise you'll loose plenty of customers in the important first 30 minutes. There are plenty of apps out there, and those mobile apps are doing a very big step into customer friendly nobrainers. Young people don't know windows 3.11 and all those problems one had anymore. There are not patient regarding software not working as expected, I guess.
Something photoshop will have to face as well, as it is a monster in functionality, but a very old, not straight forward one.
Back to clear color.
As you already know, my idea of filling a layer with a +brush & black is not working, as black paint with plus is not transparent. Must be a different algorithm than on layer?
BUT filling a layer which is set on add with black works.
No disgusting colored borders, as there are no alpha areas, but still the layers are transparent - well for the price of only using layers with add.
Smoothing is smoother and no ugly, unexpected color irritations when using a different color on a half filled layer.
Instead of erasing, one need to use black.
Well this is no solution, but smudging even with alpha simply works this way like expected.
That's how it should be on normal canvas, in my honest opinion.
