Smudge Options

Normally, tool options are displayed in a window attached under the Toolbox as soon as you activate a tool. If they are not, you can access them from the main menu through WindowsDockable WindowsTool Options which opens the option window of the selected tool.

Prekrivnost, Čopič, Velikost, Aspect ratio, Kot, Spacing, Trdota, Force, Dynamics, Dynamics Options, Uporabi tresenje, Smooth stroke, Lock brush to view, Expand Layers

See the Common Paint Tool Options for a description of tool options that apply to many or all paint tools.

Hard edge: this option gives a hard contour to the smudged area.

No erasing effect

If smudging will decrease alpha of some pixels; this alpha is not decreased if this option is checked, and so pixels are not erased. This is useful to fill a gap between two color areas.

Vzorči spojeno

If you enable this option, the effect is not calculated only from the values of the active layer, but from all visible layers.

See Razdelek 3.12, “Kloniraj” for using Sample Merged in non-destructive image editing.

Mera

This option could be called "Smudge length" since it sets the length of the smudging effect in a stroke.

Rate example

1: Rate=20 2: Rate=60 3: Rate=90


Flow

We already saw the different behavior of the Flow option when it is set to 0.00 (works as the original Smudge tool) and set to more than 0.00 (uses the foreground color for smudging).
