Allow Palette Knife to hold more paint, but not thicker paint...I'll try to explain

Thanks for the replies. I will try adjusting the pressure. Just tried it and it sure helps. Thanks markw! Again!

I replied a little too soon. If one starts with a glob of paint from the tube it works as your sample shows but when starting on a piece of blank canvas still doesn't carry much length in the stroke unless I increase the loading. And that means it is more impasto. I will just keep playing with the settings.

I also dislike the heavily surfaced impasto look that palette knife adds with higher paint loading (but paint roller doesn't at any setting), so it is a good workaround, but it needs other steps to tone the paint texture down later on.

I'm just glad someone voiced they would prefer some more extra settings for this tool and I hope the developers see it and give us something, because I tend to use the tools that are already there to the max, until I realize there might be an easier way to get same look with some effort from the developer.

this thread is an opportunity for as to ask for some extra TLC for the otherwise great palette knife tool.

Will keep fingers crossed here!
