%%%I am using blender 2.55 beta 32bit for linux on a 64bit ubuntu 10.10.

What I did was create a quick and dirty image in the image editor and start painting it. Next I applied the image as a displacement image and added a displacement modifier. I noticed that the 3D display doesn't update in realtime, and only updates after I tab into and out of edit mode once.

Perhaps its a good thing that the mesh isn't altered in real time when painting, especially if everything was high poly, but perhaps it would be nice to apply the changes on a mouse up event after painting at least?

I made a quick screencast of the problem, but it has been in a "still processing" state on youtube for a few hours now. If you need the video, I will try to attach it to this bug report later (~50 mb, but I could always shrink it) or wait for youtube to finish it and paste the url in another comment.

Hope this helps! Cya.%%%

%%%Hi Dan,

A very sensible feature, but potentially problematic for speed. Having displacement painting directly on a 3d model is a good one to work on too! I've added this on our todo wiki, improvements on blender come after tackling all real failures. We have gigantic list to work on. :)
