Hi, I know, it sounds like a waste, but trust me, it isnt. I firstly didnt
even
know what are those drawing modes for, but soon it fastened my work.
I suppose they should have a shortcut key too.
For example: You draw or edit an image with a simple brush, when you want
to
erase some stuff, you switch to the eraser, but this one has different
brush size,
shape, opacity than the first tool. Using different modes like erase and
plenty more
are efficent. (I admit, some of them I never used - solarise, and other
modes,
I do not use to use).
Maybe I am explaining it wrong, but You can try it for your own.
The program I used to work with is named TV Paint Animation,
for someone it can be an unknown program, but believe me,
it is very strong and when comparing prices you can see:
PaintShopPro 105 €
Photoshop 264-441 €
TV Paint Anim. Pro/Std. 950 € / 475 €
GIMPfree OpenSource :)
that TVPA is not just a shit-program, but has features that really make
work with
images draw/edit more efficient.
let me know what do U think

-it makes the drawing/editing easier, because when you want to erase
something, you do not need to change your tool 2 eraser, but can choose
to
erase the painting with the brush you currently have.
Could you explain why it would be easier to do this with additional
drawing modes instead of using the existing shortcuts to switch to the
eraser and then switch back to your previous drawing tool?
If you use the existing shortcuts for the tools or if you define new
ones, then you only need to press the key for the eraser, erase what
you want, and then press the key for the other paint tool to continue
drawing. You can do that without having to move the mouse to the tool
options and change the paint mode, which is more cumbersome in my
opinion.
Also, for those who use a drawing tablet, it is much easier to switch
tools than to play with drawing modes.
