Paint
Masksv2coreNeeds full input
Overview
Strokes, not pixels. Every stroke keeps its own size, softness, opacity and mode forever, so an old stroke can be re-judged at any time. Coverage saturates within a stroke, so a slow drag cannot darken by restamping the same spot.
How to
- Pick
brush_mode:paint,clone,eraseorreveal. - For
clone, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+click to park the source first. - For
reveal, wire the cleanplate into therevealinput. - Drag to lay the stroke; it commits as one undo step on release.
Inputs
| Input | What it takes |
|---|---|
| in | the image this node works on |
| reveal | what `reveal` strokes brush in — a cleanplate, an earlier version, another grade |

Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| strokes | Text | The strokes, as the node stores them. Paint in the viewer; this is the record. | |
| brush_mode | Choice | paint | paint lays colour; clone stamps pixels from a Ctrl-clicked source; erase removes; reveal paints the input back through. paintcloneerasereveal |
| brush_color | Color | [1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0] | The colour paint mode lays down. |
| brush_size | Float | 30.0 | Brush diameter in pixels. |
| brush_opacity | Float | 1.0 | How opaque a stroke is. |
| brush_softness | Float | 0.5 | Edge softness of the brush, 0 hard – 1 fully feathered. |
| disabled | Bool | false | Bypass: the node passes its first input through untouched (D in the graph). The knobs keep their values for when it comes back. |
| label | Text | A note shown under the node in the graph — what this node is FOR. Never affects the render or the cache. | |
| hide_input | Bool | false | Draw the node without its input wire — a tidy graph for a node whose source is obvious (a Dot, a viewer tap). |
Known edges
erase takes back the paint above it and leaves the plate — it is an eraser, not a hole.
