controlling the shape of the brush tip

[sharonkatz]

How do I control the shape of the tip of the brush stroke so that it has a point or is rounded at the tip? rather than it being flat at the end and beginning of the stroke?
Thanks,
Sharon

You control that with the very overlooked curve editor, or Profile editor, as it is called in this case.
1 Click on the letter P next to the word Size.
2 Select Profile Editor and there's your "point" maker, but only virtual.
3 Start off by making the bottom left side of the curve absolutely flat and keep it flat over almost 3/4th of the panel. Make sure you select Spline.
4 Leave the editor open so you can play around with this shape until you get something you like. Don't forget to tweak the tip sensitivity in your Wacom software as well.
5 Once you find a shape you like, include it in the Profile Size (a third name for the same curve editor/profile editor) Bin.
6 Finally, if you have made a Custom Button for your pen, RMB on the button and select the bottom line Grab Current tool with colors, keep icon, and you're done -- for the next ten minutes.
