Here's an example of the "burn" that occurs around the edges of the smudge. Hidden Content: And here's one of the highlight being gradually erased. Hidden Content: You can also see the "burn" in that last one, even though it was a highlight being smudged. Aaaand here's a super-quick speed paint showing both of the problems as I encounter them whilst painting, in a semi-finished pic. It may not appear obvious to everyone, but it's painfully obvious to me as I work with the tool. Hidden Content:

Actually, now that I've tried to finish up my previous artwork, it doesn't do what I expected it to. When smudging a highlight, the tool effectively erases the highlight. The darker color smudges on top of the lighter color, and the lighter color doesn't smudge anywhere. That, and there's a weird "burn" effect on the edges of a smudge when smudging certain colors (areas of shadow, reddish colors, etc.) It was a good try, though. Might still be helpful, I'llhave to play with it a bit more.

I joined this forum just to let you know that I love you for this. Paint.NET is the only painting software that works with my tablet PC, and now that I can smudge...My life is complete.
