Gimp 2.10.8 brush paint loads uneven

Quote:...my favorite tool is the smudge tool; I use it constantly in Gimp and PS and always thought the Gimp smudge tool worked better than the PS one. ..

A reminder on this because it came up recently.

For smudge to work as legacy Gimp 2.8 smudge, flow needs setting to zero. This can be overlooked when Tool Options are set to "Save on Exit"

There is a plus, the new smudge works in linear mode and does not have those dark boundaries you can get in RGB mode.
