Options
Tool [Outline] - adds an outline around a closed shape that you click on, works with foreground (left-click) and background (right-click) colors.
Brush [Outline] - adds an outline around the brush as you draw. After selecting this option, the outline’s color can be changed under this option in the dialog window.
Lift - moves a part of the image into its own layer.
Unique [Mix] - mixes colors, left-click uses the RGB color model to mix colors, while right-click uses HSV.
Proportional [Mix] - mixes colors taking into account the number of pixels of each color, left-click uses the RGB color model to mix colors, while right-click uses HSV.
Colorize - changes color (hue), works with foreground (left-click) and background (right-click) colors.
Desaturate - removes color (hue) completely.
Hue/Saturation/Value/Lightness [Shift] - changes the colors based on the selected property, left-click to add, right-click to subtract. You can change how much of a shift will be applied by changing the percentage slider under these options.
Indexed Mode - when enabled, prevents new colors from being introduced, and any option that modifies colors will use colors from the palette.
Known issues
- Using any option from the Magic Pencil on a completely empty cel will result in the first stroke being treated as a regular pencil
- Selecting colors from the palette when using any option from the Magic Pencil other than Outline or Colorize (which actually use the selected color) will interfere with its working and result in odd behavior
