Hi,

I am a new Pixelmator user. I would like a brush that will color in pixels like the paint function, but color them in either 0% or 100% depending on the brush's shape. Basically completely replicating Photoshop's pencil functions, with a corresponding eraser that erases pixels either 0% or 100%. Because I need to make thick lines with no anti-aliasing, whereas the pixel paint function puts down lines of pixels that "break" from one line to another, the current pixel paint function is completely unsatisfactory for me. If there's some way I can fix this without having to wait for this function to be developed, please let me know, but I've explored every combination of brush shape sliders and nothing comes close to replicating Photoshop's pencil function.

Thank you. Image
