Use eyedropper tool outside of program

This is a functionality that Photoshop has. It works like this: - Choose the eyedropper tool - Left click and hold anywhere on the canvas - While still holding, move the eyedropper tool outside of the program and release click over the colour you ...

View font thumbnail

I would love to have a view of the font when using the text tool. I believe all graphics programs have this ability. It would be helpful if the last three fonts that was used were listed at the top so you could easily find them. Also maybe have a ...

Contiguous On/Off Setting for Paintbucket

The purpose of having this setting is to allow a user to change multiple but separate areas of identical flat color throughout the illustration with one click of the Paintbucket. For example, if you have a character who appears in multiple panels ...

Quick Fill

Option to fill with a color quickly (and also gradient, pattern, weave, etc) simply by hitting a single key on the keyboard but without the Edit/Fill dialog box opening.

Autosave! Earlier versions had it, why not 2023? It's crazy.

Not only should it be a no-brainer, but Painter is prone to crashing...at least for me on Mac OS Ventura 13. If you don't remember to regularly save manually, you can lose hours-worth of work.

Merge brush looks with brush variants

The texture and texture settings should be saved with the brush variant instead of having to create a separate brush look. Photoshop, Paintstorm Studio, etc all save the texture with the brush instead of having this extra step.

Sample multiple colors on the canvas and reference

While working with brushes that can sample multiple colors with the mixer pad, I think it would be useful to be able to sample on the canvas and reference as well

Have Brush Icon show Direction or Rotation of stroke like Enhanced Brush Ghost

I like to be able to use the brush icon but it doesn't show the the direction or rotation of the stroke. It would be a plus if it could be set to direction or rotation and follow the stroke as it paints

Combining Dab Effects

After watching a video on Dab Effects, which look really useful, it occurred to me that being able to combine the effects within one dab would be useful. For example, Add Erosion along with Feathering. I'm sure there's many more combination that w...

Layer Styles for Text

Would be great to be able to bevel/emboss text, add drop shadow (with ability to move and change opacity and color), add glow, etc. Would eliminate having to go into PS.
