I see what you're suggesting, a thickener/thinner tool that takes a parameter from the background. That would be nice to have, but for the first cut of a complex scene it would require going over the whole thing in a manner that seems a bit like busy work to me. I think you could thicken/thin all the selected paths using a background and some threshold/gamma/radius type parameters. Then fine tune it either with the existing thickener/thinner tool or a background sensitive thickener/thinner tool like the one you're suggesting.
OK, agreed, we can indeed do both without much trouble (although I'm afraid the auto developing over a large area will be terribly slow with our current algorithms).
Do you use a graphics tablet? I'm thinking of getting one, but right now I only use a mouse, and I find the whole calligraphy / engraving area kind of futzy with a mouse, I suspect it's quicker / easier with a pen.
Yes I do, and yes it's much much easier to work it with a pressure-sensitive pen than with mouse.
