This option averages all inputs from the tablet. This makes it so that the numbers involved will be scaled along the zoom level. This will apply the smoothing on the pressure input as well, resulting in more averaged size for example. Will currently always result in a straight line, so use with caution.

This controls how much the line will attempt to reach the last known position of the cursor after the left-mouse button/or stylus is lifted. (Literally the amount of events received by the tablet before the first dab is drawn.) Stroke Ending The distance the brush needs to move before the first dab is drawn. This option allows you to use the following parameters to make the smoothing stronger or weaker: Distance If you experience slightly jagged lines without any smoothing on, this option will apply a very little bit of smoothing to get rid of those lines. This option will smooth the input of older tablets like the Wacom Graphire 3. This is the fastest option, and good for fine details. The input from the tablet translates directly to the screen. The following options can be selected: No Smoothing. Useful for people with shaky hands, or particularly difficult long lines. Smoothing, also known as stabilising in some programs, allows the program to correct the stroke. The sticky-keys can be edited in Settings ‣ Configure Krita… ‣ Canvas Input Settings.

The alternate invocation is the ‘’color sampler’’ (standardly invoked by the Ctrl key). To switch the brush, make use of the brush-preset docker. It makes optimal use of your tablet’s input settings to control the brush-appearance. The freehand brush tool allows you to paint on paint layers without constraints like the straight line tool. The default tool you have selected on Krita start-up, and likely the tool that you will use the most.
