I spent the past several hours working on a very detailed landscape. I have been experimenting with different brushes and I realize that a brush I used on a particular section had a rather brutal texture to it. I really really don't want to go over that section again. It is exactly how I want it outside of the splotches of this particular texutre I'm seeing and replicating this will be a nightmare. I'm willing to do anything I can to make that texture go away.

I guess a more accurate statement would be that I would like this section to have the texture of a different brush if possible.

Try adding a layer above the problem and painting it as you want it.

Older thread, but I thought I'd suggest a fix that should work. My understanding is that you have the color in your painting the way you like it, but that you want to change or manipulate the texture of the brush strokes indipendently from the color.... like a transparent glaze -using a different brush texture. This is how I would do it (this works) 1. Make a NEW layer above your existing layers. 2. Change your layer setting for this layer (layer blending mode) to "MULTIPLY" for the NEW layer. "Normal" setting will not work. 3. Pick absolute WHITE on your color picker (this is the key, any other color in MULTIPLY will show up as a color on the layer. WHITE comes out clear on multiply layers.) 4. Pick a brush type, Filbert, for example. 4a. For maximum texure removal turn the loading down to around 10 or lower when painting 4b. For maximum texture mixing/adding make sure your brush LOADING is heavy (like 90) 5. Paint away on your new layer. The filbert impasto (or any textured brush) will override the depth map of the lower layer and you now can change your percieved texure of the brush strokes without changing the original paintings colors or blending. 6. I didn't find a way (yet) to simply manipulate the texure of a brush on it's original layer without changing the painting... Notes: a. The above technique works AND it preserves your lower layer texture, so it it non-destuctive and you can go back to your original with a click of a button.... this is very cool. aa. Using the LOADING slider on the brushes is the key for texture control. More loading = More texture, less = less texture) b. I picked Filbert becuase it is one of the finer brushes and can leave almost no depth on the stock setting (especially loading is set to around 10). I'm sure you can find a different brush and adjust it to do the same. c. This part is pretty cool: You can pick the ERASER from the menu, and erase out parts of your MULTIPLY level to reveal the original textures of the layer under it, or blend between the two using pressure sensitivity... without changing your color brush strokes on your original. This is pretty AWESOME! d. ...BUT, DO NOT change your brush "type" to ERASE, pick the ERASER from the menu. Using the ERASE brush from the brush type menu will 100% erase your multiply layer's texture when you paint (unless you turn the Loading of the eraser brush setting down to near zero, then it is kind of nice) ... f. You can paint over your multiply layer with a new Normal as well with new textured brushes. ..this is also pretty cool. Hope that helps, Ken H.
