SUMMARY It seems like most brush engines have problems in regards to either tiny strokes or point-dabs. This is annoying when working with pixel art, working in high zoom levels, and/or when you want to create very tiny strokes in general. The following brush engines do not generate dabs if a stroke is less than half a raster pixel (or less than one full raster pixel, in the case of color smudge engine): * Pixel * Color Smudge (regardless of algorithm) * Quick Brush * Spray * Hatching * Grid * Clone * Deform * Tangent Normal * Filter * Mypaint The above engines are capable of point-dabs, though. I define a point-dab being as simply clicking on the canvas, without any drag. The following brush engines can't do point-dabs: * Color Smudge (regardless of algorithm) * Bristle * Shape * Curve STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Zoom in to 6400% or higher. 2. With a Pixel brush, make a stoke smaller than half a raster pixel. OBSERVED RESULT No dabs are created. EXPECTED RESULT There should be at least one dab. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian sid KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.12.12 (appimage)
Oh, and this is an issue relayed from https://krita-artists.org/t/brush-sometimes-didnt-draw-exactly-where-outline-shows/49123
Ah, and I should note: It seems like 1px Sharpness-enabled Pixel Engine brushes are excluded from this problem.
I can confirm with the Krita Version: 5.2.0-prealpha (git 5c98a72) Appimage with Qt 5.15.7 and the pixel brush.
