Erase - Mando8000 - 09-03-2022

Hey guys does anyone know if there is a way to erase only half a square/pixel?


RE: Erase - Ofnuts - 09-03-2022

Of course not. If you need to handle half pixels, then scale the image 2x and handle full pixels Smile

But instead of erasing half of the pixel, you can make it half-transparent (or make it a 50/50 color mix). This is exactly how anti-aliasing does it.

Can you tell me how plz or point me towards a tutorial

If you want to half-erase, set the eraser opacity to 50%. If you want a 50/50 color mix, set the paint tool to 50% opacity. The opacity is the second selector at the top of the tool options.
