Hi,

I was trying to apply a color to some of the brushes in ASP 8 and they still remained black. I investigated this and found that they were 32 bit pngs with the transparent alpha included. The brushes that are 24 bit without the alpha and with a white background can have different colors applied to them.
My question is this...

Is there any benefit to having brushes with a transparent alpha?
The ones without it work fine as far as I can see. If there is no reason for the transparency I will change them so they will accept the color.

Thank you, udd

Hey Udd, I went through every brush and I can change each one to accept a colored stroke. Which brush do you say has a white background? I couldn't find one. They all appear to me to have the alpha. When I make my own, I always have the alpha. Are you sure that you're checking the tint brush using stroke color AFTER you select the brush but BEFORE you hit ok for the brush, it sometimes needs to be checked again. The icon for the brush doesn't change color but the stroke will be with whatever stroke color you have selected.

Edit: okay, I found the ones with the white Backgrounds, those have the tint stroke option on by default, but I can still change the others without problems.

Oh, I didn't notice that option to tint brush using stroke color. Maybe they didn't have that option in previous versions. Thanks.
