Photoshop: Problem with smudge tool and mixer brush for painting

The problem with mixing tools is that they work like water. When reapplied, it becomes even worse. And need to do as chorcoal and finger work in reality. He rubs the image and does not blur it, which gives control over the picture. The speed and efficiency of the work increases, and you do less action.

   I think the algorithm of the tools is different. I learned all the tool settings. I set small and large values in the settings, use the texture, the effect is the same.
To understand better you just need to paint with chorcoal and smudge with your finger. And draw in Photoshop with a mixer brush (smudge tool). You understand the difference, rubbing the chorcoal with your finger we get soft controlled transitions.

Below is a video for comparing the traditional artist and mine.

PS: Please show this letter to developers it is very important. I read photoshop community and forum and many people wanted to convey this idea.

Video confirmation. Transitions and edges of tones, soap and water - they can not be controlled https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIEV38fsFAo

Using the smudge tool and mixer brush you can’t work as well as in this video Steve Huston . Give it a try. You will see the image will be soapy. And then draw in the traditional version. And this physics must be transferred to the program.

Hopefully some of the brush technology which Adobe has demo'd in their new iPad painting app will make it's way to Photoshop one day...
