color page: free hand tool

PostMon Mar 27, 2023 1:23 am

I'm pretty sure we mentioned this in the past... but why not.

Instead of just click for drawing shapes in teh color page, the introduction of a "free form" shape that:
1) will allow for quick draw of "infinite" point shape with the mouse or pen just by virtue of click and draw...
2) has tools for [pruning/simplify] where you can get all (or a portion of the shape) and with simple sliders prune/simplify the points numbers and the remaining point will elegantly try to fit the curve
3) applicable in any circumstance: you can click and point few points (as usual) then click and drag to add a free form shape then click the last point to close
4) it has a "density" value to see how closer are two points drawn ad default (or an [auto] for let resolve pick and choose...)

so you mean a kind of brush tool rather than the existing free hand pen tool? something similar, if not the same (the Paint node) exists in Fusion, so I could see this being carried over to Color aswell.

The pen is in the Color page. It is below the gradient tool.

Can you free draw? because that's what I'm asking for, not point and drag a point at the time.

Yeah, I see the point. Several years ago, when Fusion got integrated into Resolve, I asked "hey, the window-drawing tools in Fusion are actually better than in Resolve Color. Can you change the Power Windows to be more like that?" No answer as of today.

Good idea
And it can be very useful for those who use a pen and tablet
