Fade Brush

I normally do dodge/burn in photoshop, but I've been trying to move more of my workflow into capture one and have been doing the D&B there.

It would be nice if I could fade the last brush stroke I performed in the application, which would allow me to adjust the last brush stroke from 0-100% opacity. Sometimes I do a stroke and it has a bit more impact than intended.

Currently I undo and redo the stroke, but quite a few times it would be nice to just be able to decrease the opacity of my last stroke.

  What i do if there is only one "too strong" mask on the layer: I reduce the impact of the layer from 100pct to say 80pct. this works fine.

  Other solution: Eraser with opacity of 10 pct to be used on the "too much opacity brush".

  For me this works pretty fine

  Hi Seb, this is a feature request I'm not really looking for work arounds. But thanks!

  The layer opacity works fine if you'd like to reduce the entire layer, it is something I do frequently but is not really what I'm looking for.

  And yes, you can use the eraser, but unless you can draw exactly the same stroke (which is not likely) it is inaccurate and can effect things outside the brush.

  Both of these are more... approaches to achieving the requested feature, but do not do the requested feature. The requested feature would be much better. I can get along without this feature, but (imho) this feature would be a useful addition leading to a better workflow. Thanks though!

  Being able to fade local adjustments would indeed be useful.
