Black ink is not supposed to be an image editing software. It's an sketching software and currently the best sketching software, i know, because of it's awesome brushes!!! That's why it is called black ink and not black'n'white images or something like that.

Photoshop is not as good when you need a sketching software, because it is expensive as fuck and provides many features, you simply don't need for sketching.

Yea guess why? Because it's an early acces-software. Early Acces means, that you get early access to software, that's still in development. If you want to get a finished software, you shouldn't use early access.

So go ahead and add make a suggestion. Thats the whole idea of early access. So deelopers get hints or feature requests, they wouldt probably not think of.

Cut and paste the conversation on their support site. Wherein neither party probably has no idea what I am talking about per my artwork. AND it is hard to explain.
I can defenetely understand valve. If you were looking for a finished image editing software, you shouldn't buy a sketchng software on early access. It was clearly written on the shop site, that black ink is a sketching sofware and, that it is under development, so it's defenetely your fault.
If you want to buy a racing car, and end up buying a jeep, you can't really blame jeep for providing you the wrong product.
