Hey there, Pixelmator Pro shows you a live preview of your brush if you double-click to edit it, but it might be nice to have it visible even when you're not editing brush presets.

As for blending mode previews, that's a nice idea. We'll see what we can do. ;)

Im not sure you got what i meant, like if your painting (or erasing) it should show you what would happen if you choose to paint, like over the canvas.. or do you mean that i can activate that somehow?

Yeah, I think I might be getting confused here — here's an image of what I'm talking about: Image

You can also paint in that preview to test out a brush. Is that more or less what you're looking for?

You see how it shows you what will happen when you click? Sorry for my English hehe but hovering gives you a preview of paiting/erasing..

Oh, no worries, I see what you mean now — you'd like to see a live preview inside the brush cursor. Well, we already have this for the Clone tool, so I think this shouldn't be too difficult from a technical standpoint. I've added it to the feature request list and we'll think about it!

I am assuming this request is for the curson to look like the brush shape when painting. That is the way it works in other apps, like Affinity Photo.

Will this be implemented? I don't the see the brush shape when painting. Here is what i mean, the attached image is a screen capture of what the crack brush cursor looks like in Affinity Photo while I hover over the canvas: Image

We do have this request in mind but it's one of the lower-priority features at the moment.
