I am using Gimp 2.8.14 on Ubuntu 14.04 and a Wacom tablet (Intuos 3 6x8).

My problem is that I cannot make a smooth stroke even when I check the Smooth stroke in the Tool Options panel. When I do that the problem is less evident, but is still there.

I believe the tablet is not the problem because in Krita the problem does not appear.

Example of me trying to write my own name with the pencil tool and a stroke with the brush tool:

I have already uninstalled Gimp and installed it again and the problem persists.

Can you please give some directions to solve the problem?

  • You should ask this at graphicdesign.stackexchange.com - but the sort answer is to simply tweak the "Quality" and "Weight" parameters. – jsbueno Oct 16 '15 at 14:45
  • @jsbueno, thank you for your answer. I am looking at the interface right now and I cannot find those parameters. I have just searched the **Tool Options, Brush Editor, Paint Dynamics Editor and the Preferences window.** Could you please elaborate a little bit more? And yes, I will ask at graphicdesign.stackexchange.com too. – Leonardo Pinheiro Oct 17 '15 at 01:56
  • @jsbueno, I opened Gimp again and found those parameters, but is necessary to put both at the maximum values to have the result expected. The result is a very slow machine. Painting is very difficult. – Leonardo Pinheiro Oct 17 '15 at 21:49

As Michael Schumacher (@MichaelSchumacher) pointed out in his comment at the Graphic Design area of this forum (https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/61990/gimp-jagged-pencil-and-brush-strokes?noredirect=1#comment92145_61990), the

View > Snap to Grid

option was turned on and, as a result, interfering with the brush strokes.

Just turn it off and everything is OK.

Do not check the Smooth stroke paramenter at the Tool Options panel, because it will slow down your machine a lot. I tried that and, to have the desired result, I put the values at the maximum levels. I could not paint freely after that.
