You can change tool options in Krita using either the Tools Settings docker or the toolbar next to the brush settings.
Krita offers several ways to adjust tool options, ensuring a customizable and efficient workflow. Here's a breakdown of how to access and modify these settings:
Accessing Tool Options
-
Tools Settings Docker: This is a dedicated panel for tool-specific settings.
- If the Docker isn't already visible, go to Settings > Dockers > Tool Options. This will open the Tool Options Docker, which displays the settings for the currently selected tool.
-
Toolbar: You can also find tool options in the toolbar, conveniently located next to the brush settings. This allows for quick adjustments without needing to switch dockers.
-
Using the "\" Key: The backslash key is often configured as a shortcut to bring up the Tool Options docker. This can be a very quick way to access them.
Modifying Tool Options
Once you have the Tool Options docker or the toolbar section visible, you can begin modifying the settings. The available options will vary depending on the tool you have selected. Common options include:
- Size: Adjust the size of the brush or tool effect.
- Opacity: Control the transparency of the brush or tool effect.
- Flow: Determines how much paint is applied with each stroke.
- Rotation: Rotate the brush tip.
- Spacing: Control the spacing between brush dabs.
Example: Changing Brush Tool Options
- Select the Brush Tool from the toolbar.
- Look at the Tool Options docker or the toolbar (next to Brush Settings).
- You should see options like Size, Opacity, Flow, Hardness, and Brush Tip.
- Adjust these sliders or input values to customize the brush's behavior to your liking.
By using either the Tools Settings docker or the toolbar, you can easily customize the settings of your selected tool in Krita and enhance your digital painting workflow.
