The Brush window (1st image) shows the brushes available, the Pen brush is selected and shows the size in red 8.5 as the size is not the default brush size (15). Brush control includes Size in pixels which can be edited numerically /dragging the slider /or using your mouse wheel over it (interestingly it offers 1/2 pixel size brushes too as in 8 /8.5 /9 /9.5 /etc), and Opacity percentage as a slider only.Īlong the top near the menu are the remaining Brush options (2nd image) which are type (Freehand /Line /Polyline /Polygon /Rectangle /Ellipse /Curve), Anti-aliasing, Correction (smooths graphic tablet and mouse lines), and Soft edge. Options - The Brush preview is just that, and if the brush is not the default size clicking it will revert to the default size. Noticeable Lag - The only thing that seems to have any lag is the fill Bucket tool, which seems to be common with most software. Even creating images tabloid sized (11' x 17' at 600 dpi) it loads nearly instantly, and brushes are lag free. Program Speed - Likely the fastest loading program I've tested. Graphics - EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti SC (Superclocked GM107) 1 GB (DDR5 memory) Is subjective to hardware installed, so with that in mind here is myĬurrent workhorse PC (A updated HP Z200 Workstation) specs I used for testing with all updated drivers.ĬPU - Intel Core i5 CPU 660 3.33GHz (2 Cores, 4 Threads) Have a look at these direct links on Pinterest, DeviantArt, and Tumblr too. Also has a large devoted fan base of users making it easier to find custom materials (brushes /scripts /etc) and learn the more advancedįeatures. A quick search online or on YouTube will find help as well. Officially they have a online tutorial section that covers many topics.

If however you feel closing a single window automatically is worth $39.99, plus installing Steam software that is always running on your PC ( their licensing), it is an alternative.Įase Of Use - Surprising simple to get started. The window is nothing more than image links that loads a image and clickable link from their website. It did not install any malware or such on my PC, just a internal FireAlpaca program window when it starts. You can close the window by clicking Ok or the X, and is the only ad I see when using the program. Ad-Supported - Whenever the program is started it loads a single ad window (see the window I had above).
