3.16. Borrar

The Smudge tool evokes finger painting. It works in two ways:

3.16.1. Ativando a ferramenta

Existem várias formas para ativar a ferramenta:

  • From the main menu: ToolsPaint ToolsSmudge.

  • By clicking the tool icon in the Toolbox.

  • By pressing the S keyboard shortcut.

3.16.2. Teclas modificadoras (por padrão)

Shift

The Shift key places the smudge tool into straight line mode. Holding Shift while clicking the mouse Left Button will smudge in a straight line. Consecutive clicks will continue smudging in straight lines that originate from the end of the last line.

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

Taxa

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


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.

Fluxo

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).
