Brush control includes Size in pixels which can be edited numerically /dragging the slider /or using your mouse wheel over it (interestingly it offers 1/2 pixel size brushes too as in 8 /8.5 /9 /9.5 /etc), and Opacity percentage as a slider only.Īlong the top near the menu are the remaining Brush options (2nd image) which are type (Freehand /Line /Polyline /Polygon /Rectangle /Ellipse /Curve), Anti-aliasing, Correction (smooths graphic tablet and mouse lines), and Soft edge. Options - The Brush preview is just that, and if the brush is not the default size clicking it will revert to the default size. Noticeable Lag - The only thing that seems to have any lag is the fill Bucket tool, which seems to be common with most software. Even creating images tabloid sized (11' x 17' at 600 dpi) it loads nearly instantly, and brushes are lag free. Program Speed - Likely the fastest loading program I've tested. Graphics - EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti SC (Superclocked GM107) 1 GB (DDR5 memory) Is subjective to hardware installed, so with that in mind here is myĬurrent workhorse PC (A updated HP Z200 Workstation) specs I used for testing with all updated drivers.ĬPU - Intel Core i5 CPU 660 3.33GHz (2 Cores, 4 Threads) Have a look at these direct links on Pinterest, DeviantArt, and Tumblr too. Also has a large devoted fan base of users making it easier to find custom materials (brushes /scripts /etc) and learn the more advancedįeatures. A quick search online or on YouTube will find help as well. Officially they have a online tutorial section that covers many topics. If however you feel closing a single window automatically is worth $39.99, plus installing Steam software that is always running on your PC ( their licensing), it is an alternative.Įase Of Use - Surprising simple to get started. The window is nothing more than image links that loads a image and clickable link from their website. It did not install any malware or such on my PC, just a internal FireAlpaca program window when it starts. You can close the window by clicking Ok or the X, and is the only ad I see when using the program. Ad-Supported - Whenever the program is started it loads a single ad window (see the window I had above).
