    the next colors it meets, on a distance you can set.

          The Opacity slider sets the transparency level for the paint. A
          higher opacity setting results in a more opaque fill and a lower
          setting results in a more transparent fill.

          The <span class="guilabel">Hard Edge</span> toggle changes this behavior.
          Any area smudged while this option is active will be smudged with
          no softening of the edge of the brush used.
