Settings
The following settings can be adjusted from the context toolbar:
- Width—the brush (stroke) size in pixels. Type directly in the text box or drag the pop-up slider to set the value.
- Opacity—how see through the brush is. 100% opacity erases pixels completely on the first pass. A lower opacity only partially erases the pixels.
- Flow—how fast the brush effect is applied (1% is very slow, 100% is immediate). Type directly in the text box or drag the pop-up slider to set the value.
- Hardness—how hard the edges of the brush are. The brush appears softer as the percentage decreases. Type directly in the text box or drag the pop-up slider to set the value.
- More—click to display the Brushes dialog to access advanced brush settings.
- Force pressure to control size—Click to control brush stroke size with pressure if using a pressure-sensitive device. This overrides brush defaults.
- Stabilizer—enables stroke stabilization using either a Rope stabilizer or Window stabilizer mode; the former drags the stroke end by a 'rope' to smooth the stroke but lets you introduce sharp corners at increasing rope Length (radius) values by redirecting the slackened rope; the latter will smooth the stroke by averaging sampled input positions within a Window whose size is configurable.
- Symmetry—when set to greater than 0, repeats the brush stroke around a number of axes (defined by the symmetry value). The center axis point can be repositioned by click-dragging it.
- Mirror—with symmetry enabled, causes brush strokes to be mirrored along the X and Y axis.
- Lock—when checked, prevents the symmetry line from being moved.
