(you might be able to find an option in the brushes palette that works for you. "initial direction" maybe?)

That link is to a stolen .pdf.

This guy, Trevor Morris has been making these since version 5.5 at least.

I hate internet thieves!

BTW, NO, there is no way to rotate the brushes, BUT, you can write an action to rotate them a specific percentage (say 15 degrees), assign THAT to an F key, and then hit it up to 16 times...

Thanks for help guys! My idea was to avoid of buying Intuos with it's tilt support :) I guess that now I'd better start collecting money for it ;)

ax--hv: The company didn't get you one? I have one Intuos at home, and I certainly didn't pay for it Smile

I suppose you should be able get one for free (and take it to home with you) as long as you're working for us.

edit: yes, there's rotate and tilt in Intuos. I can't speak for anyone else here, but at least I find it too complicated to work with them at least in PS.

I like the better control I get over the strokes when the tilt isn't there to mess things up. I know that Artrage and maybe Painter use them automatically and it didn't bother me there. I just like the feeling of Intuos over graphires. The accuracy and the grip. But that's just me.

Mikko K, heh, no it didn't... they had a Volito which i didn't open off course :)
I'll ask for Intuos. Hope it's possible to buy it from the company for my own later.

Yeah, and if you stay quiet, nobody will ever notice that you forgot to return it Wink

thanks for that explanation sweetums, I'll take care never to do it again!
for the record, i only uploaded when I saw ax--hv's post, and that's the only link on the internet, to the pdf on my server.

My Intuos from the company hasn't got tilt support :/
I'm going to try and write that action. I think it would be pretty usefull

How would one go about writing such an action? As far as I could tell, the actions refuse to control the brush menu...
