The record

Purpose: Light Brush is an application for digital painting.
Brushes: It supports custom brushes, smoothing, stamps, size linking, and color blending with any brush.
Pressure: The maker lists pen pressure support; its manual says pressure behavior depends on browser, brush settings, and operating system, and may not work on Windows 7 or earlier.
Layers and masks: The app supports layers with blend modes, layer masks, and clipping masks.
Selection and transforms: It offers area, lasso, and automatic pixel selection tools, plus transformations for content and selections.
Spree: Spree lets users retouch newly drawn or erased content before it is committed to a layer.
Files: The manual lists PNG, JPG/JPEG, GIF, BMP, WebP, WebM, and SVG as supported image opening and import formats; saving as an image supports PNG and JPG, with LBC available for projects.
Platforms: The maker lists Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and web support, with primary browser support for Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Edge, and Opera.
Settings storage: The manual says settings and presets are stored in the browser cache and can be migrated using import and export features.
Privacy: The privacy policy says the service may collect contact details and usage data, including IP address, browser details, visited pages, and visit duration.
Security: The privacy policy says the maker uses commercially acceptable means to protect personal data but cannot guarantee absolute security.
Support: The contact page accepts general inquiries, feedback or requests, and bug reports, and asks bug reporters to include reproduction steps and relevant browser, OS, or device details.
Maker: The About page identifies Dmitriy Burmistrov as the maker and says he began digital painting in 2019; it does not state a founding year or headquarters.
