Painter Brushes

hi,

i’ve just d/l’ed the 30 day trial of Painter 8 and i’m fiddling round with it at the moment… it seems pretty cooL!

anyway, i haven’t managed to find a lot of the brush customisation options

the one thing that is particularly annoying is the fact that while some brushes take into account direction, others don’t. It is most obvious with the oval shaped ones, as they either keep their shape, or rotate…
i hope this attachment will explain the problem.

I’m trying to work out if there is a way to make the top brush behave like the bottom one (and vice versa i guess…)

thanks a lot
STuart
