Question

Mixer brush in symmetry mode

Hi!

I am painting in symmetry mode and want to use the mixer brush. On the Adobe page about symmetry mode it says the mixer brush is one of the options, along with the paintbrush, pencil and eraser, but when I switch from one of those tools over to the mixer brush I get the 'Symmetry is not supported with this tool. The symmetry path is hidden with unsupported tools.' I am not sure how to fix it so that I can use the mixer brush with symmetry, any thoughts?

Thank you in advance!

    A mistake in the documentation. Maybe adobe intended Symmetry for the Mixer Brush, but it didn't make it into this release.

    (photoshop 20.0 and 20.01)

    As far as i know, only the Brush, Pencil and Eraser Tools have the Symmetry option.

    Ah, that's too bad, I hope they add it in soon. I guess until then, going back over to mix the parts separately does lend a more hand-painted look to the project...

    Thank you so much for the quick reply!

    Hi

    Polly tried the link I sent via PM and it does work. She had to download the Adobe Connect app given by following the link,  then she could view it. It does not have the conversations that go on in the chat pod recorded but the main demo is there. I've linked it below for anyone interested.

    That is very cool Dave.  It was way too good a tutorial not to have a wider audience.
