Poor control issues
Consider Gimp and its tools.
and now let's consider one single control
and observe one very stupid thing that is commonplace amongst the UX with digital painting packages: **the total range of the slider is contained in a box measuring 136 pixels in width, and with tiny up/down controls. How else could I control the slider? If it took up more screen space? Consider this:
that leaves you with a very small area. So one idea, if you have two screens is to undock the tabs and put them all on a second screen. Gimp can already do this. But consider that you only need for the sliders to take up a lot of screen real estate when you need precision controlling them. Another thing is that for most use cases, you will only want to use a small subrange of the slider. For example, if I am tracing a photograph, I perhaps want brush widths between 1 and 10 pixels.
