I've been sitting here trying to figure this out. Ive selected the brush tool, went to simulate pressure looked at the settings and tried to change them to make the line thinner at the ends. But the settings really make no difference to the line except make it more broken apart looking. Is there anyway I have a setting mess up somewhere ealse?
