Pixel brush + Cntrl behaving differently

[Nova-Odos]

Hello, I have a problem with the pixel brush.

I love the pixel brush, and I use the Cntrl key a lot with this brush because it deletes pixels way more efficiently than the Eraser Tool.

It erases the color completely at once, I don't need to do more than one single pass to delete a pixel for good, but suddenly, the Cntrl + pixel brush is behaving exactly like the eraser!

I need to pass my brush many times just to make sure I deleted a single pixel.
What did I do to change the original behavior???

 

Thanks

Have you double checked the brush Opacity to make sure it’s 100%?

[Nova-Odos]

Brush opacity is 100% at all times. So yeah...now it is tripled check

Hi Nova, if possible could you provide a screen recording demonstrating this issue?

Hope this helps. When I press Cntrl, the pixels should be erased 100% in one single pass. If you observe the video, I need to pass several times to delete at 100% the image pixels.
Thanks

This is likely because you have a brush selected in the brushes panel if you select a solid basic brush does this issue still occur?

Thanks

@CallumNope
I selected "Round Brush" under "Basic" under "Brushes" Menu and when I paint, it paints as expected, but when I use the Cntrl feature it still needs several passes to make sure the brush deletes the pixels to a 100%.
By the way, I recall that at the beginning I had this same issue but suddenly, as if it was magic, the Cntrl feature began behaving very cool and I could delete pixels in one go, but this day I moved or made something and it messed up the Cntrl behavior. I'm uncertain of what was it thatI did.

Thanks

I think I found a possible solution, but I'm not certain if that's whats supposed to be changed.

Have you tried just setting Alternate: to Erase?

[Nova-Odos]

Yep, was originally on "Erase", and BTW, "Background Color" didn't work

[Nova-Odos]

Just to state I'm not a crazy, here's a video of  what I expect the Pixel Brush to do. This video is records the previous Affinty Photo version.

You have wet edges set to "On"

This occurs when you use a brush that sets wet edges on

This setting remains even after restarting the app until you use a brush that specifies "set wet edges off"

The basic brushes do not do that

To fix, select a basic brush click the more button and change the setting to specifically "Set Wet Edges Off"

 

Note: This problem is hard to see immediately as there is no Wet Edges indication in the Context Toolbar for the Pixel Tool as there is for the Pixel Brush  

Possibly, also a bug as when painting with the Pixel Tool you can't see wet edges (if set to on) so why does erasing use wet edges (if set to on)

Holy Cow !

It actually worked !!!

Thank you very much 😮 😮 😮 !!!

I would also suggest not using a "Round Soft Brush" when wanting to paint/erase individual pixels.

I think I’m right in saying that although the box around the brush in the Bushes Tab, changes from blue to red when you modify the brush, setting Wet Edges doesn’t trigger this, which seems a little odd!

I haven't payed attention to this. I'll check it thoroughly next time. Thanks for the observation.
