I produced a couple of variations of the attached paintpreset (particle paintmode). For a new series of sketches I need it to work with selections, but the preset ignores any masking turned on and paints over the whole canvas.
Which parameters I have to change, so it's working fine within maskings?
Thank you so much.
This I found in the forum, but I can't fix it yet:
Any paint preset you are working with will mask to the current selection if you turn on the Mask checkbox in the main operation toolbar.
There are specific settings you can use in Path Start and Path End control panels of the paint synthesizer to force path starts to only occur in selected regions, and to stop paths from drawing outside of the selected area. There's also a Path Application probability setting selection option as well.

This particular paint preset is a vector paint preset. Since vector paint was kind of shoehorned into the paint synthesizer after it's initial design, sometimes discrepancies in it's standard behavior occur that we need to correct when pointed out.
It looks like there's a bug associated with selection masking and this particular set of vector paint parameter settings we need to fix. So i'll look into that.
You can manually edit paint presets based on selection. So if you set the Path Start control panel Inhibitor to SelectRegion Only, then the paint particles will only start in the selected area.
The vector particles will still spill out of the selection area as the painting progresses. you should be able to use path end or path application selection mask options to stop it, but there appears to be some problems with that as well. So i'll look into fixing that as well.
The selection masking bug is associated with vector paint using particle pen mode. I just fixed it, so the fix will show up in the next 4.06 beta build.
OK john, many thanks!
I got the 4.06 update last week and this issue works fine now. Again thank you. But I'm somewhat unsure, because there are still some vecctor-preset that doesn't really mask out.
I've attached a vectormultibrush-preset as an example:

Thanks, we'll take a look at fixing it.
Turn on Line Track in the MultiPen Mode control panel. That will solve your immediate problem with this particular paint preset and selection masking.
I'll fix it in v5. Thanks for letting us know.
