Hi guys, I am a complete newbie to all this so forgive me if this is a stupid question.

I am having problems when trying to record brush strokes on a smart filter mask using script listener. Is this possible? Is there some trick to it?

Cheers,

Philip

when ever I want to record brush strokes, i make a new brush layer, brush, and save just the brush layer as a png. Then I can record a copy and paste of just the brushing.

Hope this is of use

You can't record or script brush strokes. In addition to using paths, you may also be able to create and fill a selection depending on what you want to do.

True, especially if the Selection is basically polygonal without a lot of curving or gets feathered strongly anyway this might be an more convenient solution.

As far as I can tell: No.

Alternative options would be

• creating a Path and using strokePath or

• trying to recreate the whole Mask as Paths and apply the necessary Blur afterwards or

• inserting the channel from a separate file

Edit: Could you post a screenshot of what you are aiming for?
