Hi,

 

At some point my pencil locked to max. %75 value. I restarted the software and the mac ( version 12.7.6, M1 ) but still the have the same issue as the screenshot shown below.

.

 

Thanks,

Ridvan

Never heard of that problem before – thanks so much for reporting it! We’ll look into it.

To help you right now, I guess it will work if you reset your pen settings. Press Shift Cmd D to Reset User Settings of your drawing tools.

[cevik]

Sure, anytime.

I’ve just reset the pen settings but still same.

Oh wow. That’s interesting. And strange. I’ll have to ask Frederik about this (lead programmer).

I’ve also checked and it’s max %75.

[Niels]

Oh! Is the problem that the max value is 75%? Because that is how it is made – deliberately. The pencil can not have a 100% opacity.

I thought Ridvan said it was somehow “locked” – I mean, I understood it as the slider was not able to move – couldn’t be dragged downwards.

Can you confirm Ridvan?

[cevik]

Yes Niels, many years layer I just again started to test the program and not so used to yet.

Sorry for confusion. Situation happened while I am trying with the modifier keys and might be duplicated layer or something similar so at one point I saw dark pencil strokes with the lighter ones. Then I checked the opacity and saw that value and wanted to asked you because I first time saw maximum opacity value at 75. Quite surprised by the way.

Thank you for your help!

If I helped you – by accident – then you’re welcome 😀

I understand why you would be confused by the 75% at the maximum. I am not too happy about this myself. The reason was that you could compare it to the other pen tools and their opacity – however, it might be more confusing than helpful 😀

Anyway, thanks for testing! Keep it up – and please report anything else you might find weird.

Thanks,
Niels
