Snap Eraser will allow you to turn off snapping for brushes with the blending mode Erase.I’ve been using Krita exclusively for the last 2 years. You may not always want erasers to snap, especially when using assistants liberally during the sketching process. Unticking it allows you to chain assistants together and snap along them. For situations where there is more than one assistant on the canvas, the defaultly ticked Snap Single means that Krita will only snap to a single assistant at a time, preventing noise. The slider will determine the amount of snapping, with 1000 being perfect snapping, and 0 being no snapping at all. See Painting with Assistants for more information. Ticking this will allow snapping to Assistant Tool, and the hotkey to toggle it is Ctrl + Shift + L.

This makes it so that the numbers involved will be scaled along the zoom level. Similar to Smooth Pressure, this allows the input (pressure, speed, tilt) to be smoother. This ensures that the line will be finished. This can be used to create sharp corners with more control. This toggles and determines the size of the dead zone around the cursor. It will draw a circle around your cursor and the line will be a bit behind your cursor while painting.

It is different from weighted smoothing in that it allows for always completing the line. This option averages all inputs from the tablet. This will apply the smoothing on the pressure input as well, resulting in more averaged size for example. Will currently always result in a straight line, so use with caution. This controls how much the line will attempt to reach the last known position of the cursor after the left-mouse button/or stylus is lifted. (Literally the amount of events received by the tablet before the first dab is drawn.) Stroke Ending The distance the brush needs to move before the first dab is drawn. This option allows you to use the following parameters to make the smoothing stronger or weaker: Distance If you experience slightly jagged lines without any smoothing on, this option will apply a very little bit of smoothing to get rid of those lines. This option will smooth the input of older tablets like the Wacom Graphire 3.

This is the fastest option, and good for fine details. The input from the tablet translates directly to the screen. The following options can be selected: No Smoothing. Useful for people with shaky hands, or particularly difficult long lines.

Smoothing, also known as stabilising in some programs, allows the program to correct the stroke. The sticky-keys can be edited in Settings ‣ Configure Krita… ‣ Canvas Input Settings. The hotkey can be edited in Settings ‣ Configure Krita… ‣ Shortcuts. You can also press the V key as a stickykey for the straight-line tool. Press the Shift key and drag outward to increase brush size. The Primary setting is “size” (standardly invoked by the Shift key). Release the Ctrl key to return to the freehand brush tool. Press the Ctrl key to switch the tool to “color sampler”, use left or right click to sample fore and background color respectively. The alternate invocation is the ‘’color sampler’’ (standardly invoked by the Ctrl key). To switch the brush, make use of the brush-preset docker. It makes optimal use of your tablet’s input settings to control the brush-appearance. The freehand brush tool allows you to paint on paint layers without constraints like the straight line tool. The default tool you have selected on Krita start-up, and likely the tool that you will use the most.
