Unable to control the "hardness"`


Recommended Posts

When I use either the brush or cloning stamp the hardness is always 100%, no matter what level I set.   Is there some setting I don't know of?  Is there a cure anyone knows?     The image shows use of the Brush at what says 15% Hardness, with Solid and 10% Fill

 

Do I need to switch to another more stable version?  I'm using V 4.09 with Microsoft 10.

Hi Jessie and welcome.gif  to the forum. 

 

Hmmm - that is strange that it's sticking at 100%.  It normally should be at 75% when you open Paint.net.

 

It's difficult to understand when you say the brush is "with solid and 10% fill.  It should be one or the other.

 

Here is an example with the brush at 10% and the brush at Solid.

Hi JessieLPR - Welcome :D

 

Before you reinstall - how about uploading a screenshot showing the active tool and toolbar?  That might help us diagnose the problem.

 

You can also set the opacity of these tools - see http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/CloneStamp.html

The slider is happy to go below 100%, all the way to 0% if you like, and still paints solid.    I guess I should reinstall, hope it goes away... ;-)

 

Yes, it will still paint something when the hardness is at 0%.  You have to lower the opacity to get less.

I must say, I often seem to have only limited success adjusting the hardness. I don't think it's always 100%, but the range seems to vary from really hard to pretty hard. It's something that I've noticed and occasionally been bugged by, by haven't given enough attention to so that I understand if it's PDN or something I'm doing.
