Workflow and Performance Enhancements for Substance Painter: Improved Tool Switching, Color Picking

Title: Persistent Color Palette Visibility When Switching Between Brush and Eraser

Description: When painting a 3D model in Substance Painter (version 10.0.1 on Windows 10), the color palette closes automatically when switching between the brush and eraser tools. This disrupts the workflow as I constantly need to reopen the palette.

Why is this valuable to you? Maintaining the palette's visibility when switching tools would save time and enhance the user experience by allowing for smoother transitions between tools without the need to repeatedly open the palette.

Title: Add Color Picking Functionality with Alt Key While Using Brush

Description: I would like to suggest an enhancement for the brush tool in Substance Painter. Similar to Photoshop, it would be very helpful to have the ability to pick a color while using the brush by holding down the Alt key.

Why is this valuable to you? This functionality would streamline the painting process by allowing users to quickly sample colors without switching tools, thereby improving efficiency and the overall painting experience.

Title: Presets for Brushes with Saved Settings (Alpha, Size, Opacity, etc.)

Description: It would be very beneficial to have the ability to create and save presets for brushes that include all customized settings such as alpha, size, opacity, and more.

Why is this valuable to you? This feature would save time for artists who frequently switch between different brush settings, making it easier to maintain consistency across different projects and enhancing the overall user experience.

Title: Enhanced Projection Features - Transparency and Rotation with Snapping

Description: When projecting an image onto a 3D model, it would be helpful to have more control over the transparency of the projected image, as well as the ability to rotate the image with snapping options (e.g., in increments of 15 degrees).

Why is this valuable to you? These improvements would give users greater flexibility and precision when working with projections, allowing for more creative and accurate texturing workflows.

Title: Improved Performance When Working with Large Projection Images (Over 1000 MB)

Description: There is a performance issue in Substance Painter (version 10.0.1 on Windows 10) where the application crashes when working with projection images larger than 1000 MB. It would be beneficial to optimize the software to handle larger images without crashing or freezing.

Why is this valuable to you? Many artists work with high-resolution textures for detailed models. Improving performance for large images would prevent workflow disruptions and make Substance Painter more robust for professional use.
