Description Here's my first Firealpaca tip! A deviant asked about it in so I decided the best explanation would be a visual one xD

Anti-aliasing in most pen/brush tools creates a soft edge that Bucket tool is unable to fill correctly... in Firealpaca, you can fix this by selecting Expand>1px, up to 3px.

I hope it helps!

Because you have to save it as a PNG file rather than MDP

You need to save your art as a PNG or JPG. Most sites do not recognize signature formats (such as .md, or .psd) used by application software.

Use "save-as" and then your drop-down box.

I tried this... I went all the way up to 3, but there's still a faint line there. It's much smaller, but it's still there. What can I do?

You mean, adding an arrow at the end of the line? As far as I know, Firealpaca doesn't support that option. But head over to , maybe someone will tell you how to do it (I would do it manually, you know, drawing the triangle). Good luck!
