Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…

the paint synthesizer to see if I could answer your question. I looked at path application and other areas-but I haven't found the answer yet either.
I look forward to also being enlightened.
There are also texture options for the probability control in the path application control panel. If you turn that on with the texture setting then the paint nib application along the path will tend to drop out when the stroke is in flat areas and come back on when near edges.
You can also use texture or inverse texture modulation for many other things in the paint synthesizer, like brush size or blend modulation. So depending on how a particular paint preset is configured there are a lot of different things that could be working to accent edge structure in a painting.
There's also a paint synthesizer macro edit menu to configure a paint preset to focus on edge structure (or not) when drawing. These automatically setup some of the path end and path start parameters i discussed above.
Seriously, thanks a lot John. As always your help is useful and appreciated.
As part of experimenting with the same I tried backtracking the settings on soft outliner and edge paint in the wacom section. They don't seem to follow the above path start and path end rules.
I did see that they both had a texture energy setting in brush modulation - but that setting didn't seem to convert flat paint to an outliner.
Can you indicate the settings used for soft outliner and edge paint.
Would you consider a new Paint Synthesizer
panel that would deal with all accent edge structure in painting?
And/or comprehensive macros that can be applied?
I think macro edits are the way to go for things like editing via accenting edge structure. Either that or diving in to the paint synthesizer. This is a good example of why that's the case. The controls in the Brush Modulation control panel are grouped in a pretty understandable way, they all deal with modulating the size, orientation, and texture modulation of the source brush. Having one particular brush size modulation control option in a different control panel would be even less understandable i think.
Edge pressure scatter preset is using texture range restriction in the path start control panel. Since it's autodraw interactive pen mode the path start restrictions get checked and applied to each autodrawn path.
Edge Scan BW Sketch Ex1.zip
I took a look at it and it looks like there is an interaction going on between the size of the canvas and the # of max stroke points you specify that is causing the problem you are seeing. I'm assuming you used a different canvas size than the original sunflower size. It's supposed to be smart about skipping through the edge points so that you don't exceed the number of max strokes you specify in the preset. There's some inconsistent logic in how it's doing this for certain number combinations. I'm looking into fixing the problem this afternoon.
By reducing the max stroke setting you should be able to get it to do a full scan. Try something like 4000.
