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.
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.
Usually, we need 2-finger drag to pan the canvas, but optionally, we can enable this to pan the canvas with just 1 finger.
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
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.
When this option is on, long pressing on the canvas will trigger the eye dropper as well.
This option does come with some customization.
Whether or not to enable this for finger long-press
Whether or not to enable this for pencil long-press
How long do we have to hold the touch to trigger the eye dropper? Adjust that here.
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.
Brush/eraser: Apply stabilization
Straight line: Poly-line
Shape: Toggle filled
We can enable/disable individual tools for this one.
This is simply for us to hide/show the bottom slider on the canvas, which controls the opacity.
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.
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.
This is simply for us to hide/show the undo/redo buttons underneath the slider on the canvas and use the gesture only.
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
Here we can customize whether some actions are counted to the undo/redo stack.
Selecting a layer in the sometimes can be slow. Enable this option to select a layer by simply tapping on the content of a layer.
There are multiple ways of triggering the eye dropper: itself, the , and this option.
Similar to Only draw with pencil's , but this time, instead of tapping on the canvas, we keep our pencil/finger in place for a certain period of time to trigger.
