When I am in Pixelmator Pro, and I select the Clone tool (O), I see that I can adjust the Brush Size, Softness, and the Opacity (Normal). As far as I understand, the Opacity setting for any given tool affects how "strong" that tool will be when you use it. But, if you click on an area of say 20 pixels, the tool will work on those 20 pixels, but no matter how many times you drag the tool over those 20 pixels... the tool does not continue to change those pixels. If you release the tool, and then re-click over those 20 pixels... it will change those pixels... but usually there is a "flow" slider, that works kind of like a magic marker. As you scribble back and forth over an area... the effect becomes stronger and stronger.

I do not see a "Flow" control in Pixelmator pro. Am I missing something? Is it right in front of my face?

I've been looking for that same feature just today. I would like it too.

Yeah, same here! I've noticed the same thing. It really is annoying. Would be great to get somekind of answer to this!
