This kind of annoys me but you get use to it and it's a much faster way to use layers, I must admit that. Next thing I want to explain is the layers window.Edit the settings and you'll have a pretty crazy paint brush. You can also make custom brushes this way by making a doodle and capturing a part of it. depending on the type of tool, different things will be available to adjust. Clicking edit will give you more choices of brushes to use and edit. Here you can change pretty much everything about your brush and how it functions. The icon marked in the red box, this is your brush settings.You can simply drag and drop it over the top of brush icons that you don't like or want and replace them with something better. Clicking an icon from here and dragging it onto your pens and brushes tool bar will allow you to make your own favourites set. Whatever you click will be immediately selected and ready to use. Clicking the same icon will hide the window. Much bigger selection than the older Sketchbook Pro. These are your choices of what you can use to paint with. Where the arrow is pointing, clicking this will bring up the window of pens and brushes you see now.The undo button is also there, visible as red and redo as green, change colours and the icon of the pen is showing that is what I am currently using. It shows all the same functions as the tool bar I just described, with a few other settings such as save and how the window is displayed.
