Bug ID: 502489 Summary: Brush build up mode - issue at low opacity - color never reaches 1005 Classification: Applications Product: krita Version: 5.2.9 Platform: Other OS: Microsoft Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Brush engines Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: i...@cgidesign.de Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 180044 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=180044&action=edit Buil up issue in 8bit document SUMMARY Tested with Krita 5.2.9 from Krita.org, 5.3 prealpha and 6.0 prealpha (Windows 10) - no pen, only touchpad of the notebook. krita-artists.org thread: https://krita-artists.org/t/brush-build-up-mode-issue-at-low-opacity-values/120242 Brush (pixel engine) is set to “Build up” in the settings (all pressure settings are off). As I understand it, in this mode the “Flow” settings get ignored (they don’t have an effect) and “Opacity” acts like the “Flow” parameter. This mode builds up color in a single stroke if I paint over the same area multiple times (like with a real pencil on paper where you move it forth and back without lifting it). What I expexted: Regardless of what “Opacity” value I set for the brush, if paint over the same area often enough I will get 100% color. But as shown in the screen shot, if the Opacity is at a low level (1% for example) this does not work. I paint endlessly over the same area but don’t get to 100%. Additional information from Freyalupen posted in the above linked thread: "Checking the color numbers, 16bit integer isn’t perfect either. With pure green on black I go from 65535 green to 65486. On 8bit it’s 255 to 206. Interestingly the difference in both cases is 49, suggesting they have the same problem. On 16bit it’s a visually indistinguishable .07% difference, but on 8bit it’s huge 19% difference." STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Make a new Krita document (in 8bit mode the issue is visually obvious, in 16bit integer it is there as well but not visually perceptible) 2. Set a pixel engine brush to use build up mode 3. Set brush opacity to 1% 4. Paint over the same area multiple times without lifting the brush OBSERVED RESULT Color does not get to 100% EXPECTED RESULT Color gets to 100% SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 but happens with other versions as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
