Linking of brushes - please change it!

The newest version of Capture One 20.1 has an option to Link All Brushes when drawing a mask. Before we had the new Heal and Clone brushes, you could link brush settings so that the Brush and Erase brush settings were linked. But now the new option applies to the Heal and Clone brushes too. It is almost never helpful. Almost always, you want the Heal and Clone brushes to have opacity and flow of 100% but you may well want to use the Brush and Erase tools at lower rates of flow and/or opacity. But if you do that and then change to healing or cloning, you find that the heal and clone brushes have come down to lower opacity and flow and have to be changed (usually only after wondering why the healing wasn't working properly).

A much more useful option would be Link Brush and Eraser. You quite often want that when getting your masking just right. Whereas there is no particular reason to want to link the Heal and Clone brushes - almost always the objects you want to heal or clone are different sizes and you would need to change the brush anyway.

    Totally agree with Ian!

    The link option between Brush and Eraser is nice, but Heal and Stamp are totally different and must not inherit this Brush/Eraser setting. We just don't use these two couples of tools the same way. (that said Heal and Stamp should get their own "link")
