Ask away! Maybe someone has experienced the same problems than you and we can try to solve them together

It would be really useful if you could say whether you're on Mac or Windows when asking~
Update 1.2.0!!!!!
Hi guys!!!
Woohoo!!! We're entering a new FireAlpaca era!! 2.0!!! :dance:
Here's what's new:
[1.2.0]
- It is now compatible to brush script (script control brush).
- Preset brush for brush script has been added.
- Marker, Symmetry, Analog-Pen, etc..
- Brush script is quite flexible so please use wisely.
- The max. size of brush is extended to 1000 px.
- Brush Control displays the option menu now.
So what in the world is a Script Brush? From the little I've played with them, it feels more like your regular Photoshop or SAI brushes and they respond to the angle of the pen (in Wacom tablets and others which support this function). When you c
FireFriday: Correction
Hello everyone!
This week's Friday Tip has to do with understanding the Correction tool that's built into FireAlpaca. You'll find it as a drop-down menu in the upper section when Brush tool is selected, next to AntiAliasing.
So what does it do? When set on any value higher than 0 (up to 19), it will make the lines that you're drawing smoother and less jittery. This also explains why it has a lag with slower computers, since it's an operation that the program calculates at the same time as you're drawing. Correction works with any given brush, so yes, you can also use it with brushes that you imported into the program.

FireFriday: Update 1.1.15 and MangaName app
It's Friday! And we have an update from the marvelous people at FireAlpaca HQ!
[1.1.15]
- A brush can be switched by left-drag.
- A palette can be switched by left-drag.
- The brush control has been improved. *Numerical entry of brush size is enabled.
Very much self-explanatory, simple things to make our painting life easier :D To be honest, I really miss having the brush control on my tablet pen right-click, because I'm so used to that from Photoshop, but it looks like things are improving on that sense in FireAlpaca as well.
Go grab the update! http://firealpaca.com/en
CloudAlpaca also updated to the previous FireAlpaca version, you ca
Update 1.1.14!
Hello everyone!!
Finally we have the official English translation of the new update! Thanks to obtusity (https://www.deviantart.com/obtusity) for the provisional one :)
[1.1.14]
- 5 more types of layer blending mode have been added. >> A request of all times!! The new modes are Lighten, Darken, Difference, Dodge, and Burn. I really like Dodge so I'm happy to see it in the list.
- Text layer can be converted to color layer now.>> This is an equivalent of "Rasterize" in a variety of other programs and it means you can treat the text as an image layer instead, distort it, apply filters, etc but you will not be able to edit the text anymore.
- Lasso tool is available to select

Is there a way to change the hotkeys around? Like I want to use Q for brush instead of B, for example.
