inAm I the only one who thinks leaving stuff on the curb is lazy and rude to this group?
I get the frustration but half the stuff people post here never gets picked up either, so it kind of ends up as curb stuff with extra steps. Dana's approach is lazy for sure, but the folks flipping it are gonna flip it whether it's on the sidewalk or your porch. The rain thing is the real crime though, nobody wants a soggy couch.

inRant: 3 months of my brush packs got wrecked by one setting I never touched
Wrecked how exactly? Like you lost the files or the brushes just look bad now? Because 3 months of work going poof sounds rough but I gotta ask, did you not have backups? I mess around with digital art too and the first thing I learned the hard way is to save copies of anything I spend real time on. One setting changing on you stinks, sure, but if one wrong click can nuke everything then that's kind of on the setup, not the software. Software does weird stuff all the time, that's just how it goes. Not saying your frustration isn't real, just wondering if this is a "the program ruined me" thing or a "I should've made a backup" thing.

inLost 3 weeks of canvas work in Portland because I ignored the auto save warning
I used to turn off auto save too because I hated losing my place in the middle of a stroke, and I figured manual saving was enough. Then I lost a whole night of shading on a piece and spent six hours rebuilding it, and that was the day I changed my mind about all of it. Now I just let auto save do its thing and I barely notice it anymore, the little pauses are way less annoying than starting over. For backup I keep a folder synced to Dropbox and export a layered PSD at the end of every session, so even if Procreate dies I still have something to work from. Losing a flat JPG is the worst because you can't fix anything on it, so having that layered copy somewhere is worth the extra minute it takes.
