disable brush anti-aliasing

Mon Dec 07, 2015 1:13 am
How can I disable brush anti-aliasing?

Screenshot of unwanted antialiasing, which prevents predictable color selection/filling:

Screenshot of brush settings (based on default "Ink_gpen", have tried to disable anything except size by pressure):

Clicking on "Sharpness" check-box have helped to fix antialasing. But It seems it fixes existing soft edge with some additional effects, but this soft edge is still present under these effects. Why anti-aliasing presents only for small radius brush, and why it isn't off by disabling anti-aliasing checkbox?

This knowledge I have got from this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOqdE4JJOjU

Because there's subpixel prescision in Krita, which allows for much sharper and finer strokes. This is a painting program after all.

Some artists need pixel art. Of course, Krita is not specialized for pixel art, but turning off anti-aliasing seems to be much more simpler, compared to implementation of the anti-aliasing feature.

Some artists just limited to requirements of game engine or are drawing non-image texture layer.

Some artists just want to avoid hard to control fuzzy edges (for simpler image parts selection without preventive creation of hundreds of layers for each leaf on a tree). Anti-aliasing is done with down-sampling as last step before export.

The check-box which should turn off anti-aliasing and actually doesn't turn it off - is very surprising for a user. Seems to be reason for issue in tracker.

No, because the checkbox does turn off anti-aliasing, but not subpixel precision. These things are not the same. The sharpness parameter is there for pixel art.
