--- Comment #10 from Tyson Tan <tyson...@tysontan.com> --- I don't think that is the solution I expected. Although I can fill the selected area with a solid color when Softness is set to 0, it required too much tweaking to make a useful solid selection with fuzzy transparent edge. Krita's Contiguous Area Selection tool (and Fill tool) is overwhelming its users with excessive controls. Maybe it makes sense from a programmer's point of view, but it makes no sense from a user's point of view. It's not straightforward. The default value is useless. It makes the tool feel broken. It's impossible to teach oneself to them because they produce somewhat similar result. The co-existence of Fuziness, Softness, Feathering in one place is super confusing. These words LITERALLY mean the same thing! If you insist to keep all these options, they need tooltips to explain what they actually do and why they are different. My recommendation is to simplify these options into ONE option: Fuzziness: How many pixels from the edge of the selection to taper into transparency (default: 8) Maybe you can add an option to control how the taper works (linear, gaussian, default: linear), and an "Advanced" checkbox to enable the extra controls (default: OFF). If nothing can be done, at least make the default values behave like PS/GIMP, and add a "reset value to default" button, so we can have a safe reference point. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
