Keep in mind that the Amiga is a "video" computer, the PC is not. Also, brushes come natural to the Amiga, but the PC has a very hard time with brushes. In fact, I have never found any PC art program that allows you to cut out an area of graphics, clear the screen or swap to another screen, and stamp that piece of graphic down. We take this operation for granted on the Amiga, but, the PC computers have a very hard time using a piece of graphic as a brush. So, there lies the problem. Even thou you are running Deluxe Paint on an emulated Amiga, it is not a true Amiga computer. You are trying to force PC hardware to do what comes natural to Amiga hardware.
 
Come to think of it, this was one of the features that was missing in the PC version of Deluxe Paint 2, the abilty to cut out a piece of the picture and use it as a brush.

Actually, it does apply. Think about it. A PC does not handle video, and this includes screen modes, the same way the Amiga does. So, what appears one way on an Amiga, can appear differently on a PC.
 
Do you know the names of these PC art programs that can do brushes the same way the Amiga can? I would like to try them.
