Auto-Paint Keeps Balking

Just got the notification below of a new reply here, but darned if I can find the actual posting here. Anyhow, I’d not have minded if the auto-paint kept going forever, as long as I could check its progress and stop it where I wanted. But, as I mentioned somewhere here, I found that it actually WAS going forever, but on a useless diminishing scale. I’m guessing the limitations of my little Mac Mini (it’s not called a “Mini” for nothing) are just not up to this app. I managed to blunder through the project, and now that I know a bit more about painter –*particularly the “Fill With Cloned Source” or whatever that would have been VERY useful had I but known, for the touch-up strokes –*I may come back to it some day. Maybe by then they will have simplified the interface. Thanks for the pointer.

Hi,
just messing around with demo version of Painter 11 and Auto Painting.

Sometimes it "loses" the Smart Settings tick even if it is appears set so here's the work-around:

1) disable it
2) re-enable it

If you don't do this the Auto paint will keep painting forever...

Opening a new thread for this anyway....

Bye.
