raster brushes in draw Merged

The holy grail of computer graphics has always been the ability to use a raster (photoshop brush) in a vector environment. Draw has had this ability since we added the object sprayer tool and no one in the world even knows it. Why? it's because the tool is utterly primitive and allows little control and you cannot create a brush, I don't care what the documentation says. a brush is a series of small .PNG file that are sprayed. you cannot create the list of them as there is no way to move them into the list in the edit box. This should have been the biggest feather in Corel's cap ever but no dice. I believe this sort of thing has happened a lot at Corel over the years because there has never been a graphic designer involved with management. This seems to have changed a little, maybe. I hope so. This is the area in which draw is way behind. pleeeaaase fix this.
