Drawing

Only draw with pencil

If we have an Apple Pencil, it's recommended to turn this on to prevent any unwanted stray pixels coming from our fingers or palms. When this option is on, drawing tools won't accept finger touches.

When this option is on, we can use finger touch to do other things.

Quick layer selection

Selecting a layer in the timeline panel sometimes can be slow. Enable this option to select a layer by simply tapping on the content of a layer.

Swipe to navigate frames

Another utility functionality for the finger touch is to swipe left or right on the canvas to navigate among frames. This comes in really handy when working on animation.

One-finger canvas pan

Usually, we need 2-finger drag to pan the canvas, but optionally, we can enable this to pan the canvas with just 1 finger.

This option and Swipe to navigate framescannot be enabled simultaneously as the gesture will conflict with each other

Quick shape

While drawing, we can use your finger to tap 1 time on the canvas, that will triggers some special effects on the tools.

• Brush/eraser: Toggle line mode

• Straight line: Toggle perfect angle

• Shape: Toggle perfect ratio

Cursor mode

When drawing with the finger, it's hard to see what's underneath our finger, so we have this mode to ease that pain a little bit.

When activated, there are 2 new things on the canvas: a cursor and a mouse pad.

• The cursor is our drawing position now instead of our fingertip.

• The mouse pad is used to toggle drawing status. We have 2 options for this: tapping and holding. When drawing is off, dragging our finger will move the cursor; when it's on, along with moving the cursor, it will also apply drawing.

Quick color picker

There are multiple ways of triggering the eye dropper: the eye dropper tool itself, the quick picker button, and this option.

When this option is on, long pressing on the canvas will trigger the eye dropper as well.

This option does come with some customization.

Finger

Whether or not to enable this for finger long-press

Pencil

Whether or not to enable this for pencil long-press

Activation time

How long do we have to hold the touch to trigger the eye dropper? Adjust that here.

Allowable travel

Adjust this value to limit how far the finger tip or the pencil tip can travel and still count as a long-press instead of a stroke.

Quick shape

Similar to Only draw with pencil's quick shape, but this time, instead of tapping on the canvas, we keep our pencil/finger in place for a certain period of time to trigger.

• Brush/eraser: Apply stabilization

• Straight line: Poly-line

• Shape: Toggle filled

We can enable/disable individual tools for this one.

Opacity slider

This is simply for us to hide/show the bottom slider on the canvas, which controls the opacity.

Select previous tool after eye dropper

After picking a color, we usually want to start drawing with that new color instead of staying on the eye dropper tool. Enable this option to switch back to the most recent draw tool after triggering eye dropper.

Paste at original coordinate

Depending on our preferences, Pixquare will paste the clipboard content at the center of the current screen or the original coordinate of the copied/content.

Slider quick tool

Please see this in quick actions

History

Undo/redo buttons

This is simply for us to hide/show the undo/redo buttons underneath the slider on the canvas and use the gesture only.

Undo/redo gestures

Similar to the above but now we will disable/enable undo/redo gestures (2 and 3 finger tap).

We can also adjust the rapid undo/redo rate

Optional items

Here we can customize whether some actions are counted to the undo/redo stack.
