Confusion over bristle brush settings

Support and Advice General Questions

i’ve read the manual and tested out the bristle brush. I can’t tell what the saturation weights are doing, and what the composite bristles are doing.

I’ve been using the saturation weights, just setting them individually 100 to try and figure out what they do. The ink depletion curve weight set to 100 seems to increase my saturation more than the color i have chosen to paint with, and shifts the hue. The saturation drops off instantly as well, when the curve saturation weight is 100, and you reach the ink amount number. I suppose since my curve was linear, i expected the saturation dropoff to be linear. That seems to be the bristle weight.

Using this on android on a samsung tablet, if that makes a difference.

This is just me not getting it I’m afraid. if anyone could explain these functions, Id really appreciate it.

Could you explain what you mean with “weight” because I can’t find anything like that in Krita.

In the bristle brush settings, in ink depletion, under the ink depletion curve, there’s a saturation weights section.

I guess you are using Krita in a different language than English, could you post a screenshot and point to the things you mean? Never mind I was looking at the wrong brush engine.

Did you check the manual already?

Yeah I’ve been reading the manual. Mentioned it above. That’s why I’m testing it out. It just says that it modifies the saturation, but not how. Just one sentence on it. “Works by modifying the saturation with the following”

Unfortunately I’m not very experienced with that brush engine perhaps someone else can help.

Thanks anyway. I appreciate you looking into it.
update

I’m going to update this if it helps anyone else. As far as i can tell, bristle ink weight follows the curve. Ink depletion curve weight, does not at least for me. I don’t know if that is a bug.

Bristle length weight depends on the length of the simulated bristles (i think).I believe it’s more noticable when you use the threshold checkbox. Which tells krita when to detect certain lenght bristles based on pressure

Aside from the bizzare behaviour of ink depletion curve weight, still don’‘t know what the composite bristles do.
