Blur

Previously, if you use gaussian blur and select a pencil instead of a layer, everything worked great. You could blur individual areas. Now using this it just smears that area like a blending brush. It's horrible. Please fix this.

Developer Response ,

Edited 15/09/2023 - Hi senpai D – Thanks for your update, and for reporting this behaviour. We have tested the Blur Adjustment with an Apple Pencil, and it seems to look more like a smudge or blending if you have set the strength of the Blur too high. As a test, please try going to the Gaussian Blur adjustment > select to apply it with the Pencil option > select a soft brush, like the Round Brush and apply the adjustment over a painted area of your canvas, while variating the pressure on your Apple Pencil > with your finger, swipe to left and right so you can adjust the Blur strength, and obtain a softer or more visible effect. Let us know if this helps, we are always happy to assist! 🙏

23/12/2021 - Hi senpai D - This quality loss is sadly unavoidable in a raster-based program like Procreate. In a raster format, pixels blend together to form a larger image. They're size-constrained because of a consistent PPI. So, when a raster image is enlarged, the pixels get larger too. Individual pixels stretch to the point of visibility, causing graininess or fuzziness. The same happens when you downsize, only that your pixel get pushed together to fit into the raster grid. You should keep your transformations at a minimum and best to make them early on during the sketching process, so you have a chance to trace over them with a better quality at the finished size. :)
