That's fine, except then you lose a dedicated tool to switch back and forth from. That said, I never ever have any use for the pencil tool. It would not make me sad to see it go in favour of reducing number of tools. It hardly seems worth having two tools that do the same thing apart from one opti

Hi all, The Tool Options of the Pencil and Paintbrush are identical... the unique difference is that Pencil don't have antialiasing... so, hard edges. This is the concept of Pencil tool... to have, a Paintbrush with a hard-edge option is an option... but, if you can a tool with hard-edge...

Thanks, I don't have understood reading the documentation... is possible to note that the tool pencil does more that hard-edge or not anti-aliasing. On 21-06-2016 12:18, Simon Budig wrote: The Tool Options of the Pencil and Paintbrush are identical... the unique >difference is that Pencil do
