STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to brush settings editor 2. Select any brush tip that has a hard edge 3. Enable Softness sensor 4. Deselect "enable pen settings" checkbox 5. Set softness to 100% if it isn't already OBSERVED RESULT Pen retains its hard edge regardless of what settings are selected with the Softness sensor EXPECTED RESULT The pen tip should be at least a little bit blurred. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux Appimage, 4.1.5 release. Also tested in 4.2.0 nightly build 474, git hash c000999. Bug exists there as well.
the softness curve has the label "hard" at 100% and "soft" at 0% -- maybe that's your problem?
Nope. Enabling pen settings then forcing the curve to 0% on both sides still doesn't affect the pen softness.
Thanks for your comment! Automatically switching the status of this bug to REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to get confirmed. In the future you may also do this yourself when providing needed information.
Hi I can't make this happen on any brush with a hard edge. All pixel Engines brushes work with the softness parameter only if the brush tip is not a "predefined brush". It seems there is no "falloff" applied when there is an image used as a brush tip. Is this the effect your are getting? because any "auto" brush tip works. Just do not turn "sharpness" property at the same time or the it will cancel softness.
Well I'll be damned, I'm not sure how I missed that. Updating the bug report now.
Promoted to a wish. Implementing correct softness on custom masks requires some discussion. I'll update this with the task for discussion once the task is created.
Softness also has no effect on text brushes nor gaussian brushes.
Any movement on this? I recently tested the Softness setting on an Auto brush, not a predefined one, and I still can't tell the difference. 1) Select the brush Ink-1 Precision 2) draw a stroke at the default 10% softness 3) change the softness to 100%, draw another stroke. I couldn't see a lick of difference between the two, no matter what other brush elements I changed. This was on Krita 5.0.2 on Lubuntu from the x86_64 appimage.
