I hope you see this and are able to answer my question:Blending with Photoshop... how do you get your colors to blend so smoothly? Basically, what settings, brushes and perhaps stroke directions (if they're important) do you use to get it so smooth and perfectly graduated?If they're a secret, I understand, but I -- for whatever reason -- just simply cannot seem to find the right combination to get the kind of blending power that Painter X has. It's a big pain in the rear to switch to Painter every single time I want to blend something and I know it can be done in Photoshop. Anything you can share would be great. Even if it's just a link to another site that could help. And if you have told it before in a journal or something else that I just missed, I apologize for asking one of the same old questions you always get. But it's driving me crazy.I've hit one of those plateaus where it seems like nothing you do works. If I could get over this "can't blend with the smudge tool" hump, I'd be back on track, able to move on and continue learning.Anyway, many thanks in advance
