Exactly. I don't know or really want to spend the time to adjust them each ... I have close to a 100 brushes in my workflow for texturing and bashing concepts and I have no grasp on affinity photo's brush settings; at first I thought it was the same as PS but it's drastically different. Is there some handy source on how to convert PS brushes properly into Photo? I would be interested.
I'm on windows and I know affinity allegedly runs better on OS X as it is designed to do so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it. If you see my post history I have some details - but yeah I will update and see if it helps. Just finished another piece, the acrylic brushes are damn good in Photo. 

At first the tool cycle option was frustrating until I found out how to turn it off with a setting. 
Overall Photo runs far lighter than PS, the brushes are nice when they work and image resolution is always nice and sharp on export. The cons are that I can't simply import my PS brush collection and sometimes lines have weird jaggies/anti alias artifacts.

A few more examples from when i first tried affinity last year - I only committed fully beginning of 2020 though. Love it so far.

Just me having some fun in the latest Photo Beta after all the shortcut and brush precision API improvements. Really looking forward to the official release and soon 1.9! 🥳

 

omg thank you so much for clarifying this. mods should sticky this as anyone who uses photo for art may experience this.

@swobyman777 @Sean PI can explain what's going on here. It's something I noticed years ago when picking up Affinity Photo. It's all related to brush hardness. Compared to Photoshop, Affinity has much sharper brushes with next to no anti-aliasing when reaching 100%. However, you can get the brushes to look a bit more like regular Photoshop brushes by changing brush hardness to 99%. It produces a slight blur on super massive brushes, but nothing that would be super noticeable in most projects. In the vast majority of cases the brush will have that anti-alias look. Here's a video demonstration.
