Description Phoenix Enero 2016-10-01 11:41:34 UTC

Having to Shift-drag over long distances just to change brush sizes in low zoom can be very annoying when working with large files. I propose that brush scaling should be proportional to current zoom, so that shift-dragging has consistent brush scaling over different zoom levels.

Reproducible: Always

This change needs confirmation from other artists. It seems like it would be good idea though.

Originally I suggested this feature to the developers of gimp, years ago. I'd be happy to have this feature in Krita, as I don't use gimp anymore for my painting work

Thumbs up for this feature :)

I'm coming from ClipStudioPaint background, and I was a bit perplexed why this wasn't offered as an option. It's super comfortable when sketching.

I do not suggest this as a new default. Just a checkbox somewhere, either specific to a brush (preferable) or a global option next to the brush size.

I can try to implement it myself, if it's a welcome addition, and someone with better knowledge of the codebase validates it is doable with relative ease.
