Cauterite Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm pretty new to Paint.NET, but I'm sure this isn't right. The brush tool (and various others) aren't painting smoothly at all; see this video for reference: I'm sure you'll agree, the issue is pretty obvious in the video. I've tried various things: toggling hardware acceleration, antialiasing, hardness, brush size, blending modes, canvas sizes… but nothing helps. Same behaviour in every case.

toe_head2001 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I think that's normal behavior, as I experience the same thing. Whether or not that normal behavior is by design, I don't know. We'll have to wait to hear from the horse's mouth. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

Rick Brewster Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 That's neither choppy nor laggy, which are performance related adjectives. What you're seeing is normal, for Paint.NET and for other drawing programs (GIMP, Photoshop, etc.). Paint.NET is spacing out the brush "stamps" so that they don't crowd and end up looking weird. It's just the way brush rendering engines work. The spacing is based on the size of the brush. In Photoshop I believe this is configurable. I think they just call it "spacing" or something.

Cauterite Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Alright I see now; I installed GIMP and saw that by default its brush tool behaves quite the same as P.N's. But when I changed GIMP's brush "Spacing" option to 1 (from the default 10) it was perfect. Is there no way at all to adjust spacing in P.N? Photoshop seems to have an option to disable spacing entirely. Edited January 21, 2017 by Cauterite more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
