Why has this topic died and not been replied to by Affinity???

Please bear with me as I am new to the forum. I have spent a great deal of time looking through the ipad forum for Photo. I found posts that are approximately 2 yrs old. This has not been helpful. I want to be able to select the parameters for a paint brush, opacity, feather, etc and using my Apple Pencil, see exactly WHERE I am painting or modifying the photo (like painting in or out.) I don’t know how you can do accurate work without such feedback from the brush. The forums have been clambering for this ability. This request has either died with Affinity Photo people or I just have not found the necessary setting, in which case I apologize and request some assistance.

I could not agree more. Such a wonderful program that becomes so very limited in its use because this feature is not there!!! WE NEED A BRUSH PREVIEW WHILE WORKING.

You are correct, my apology.

Thank you for the response. As I do not have a mouse with my Surface laptop and am trying to use a Wacom tablet or trackpad, there are no Windows shortcuts provided like that on the Mac version. That is to bad. Also, there are only three modifier keys on a Mac.

I’m sure there are many more with the same problem looking for a solution. I’m hoping AP support will respond with an answer.

I guess the Magnifier key strokes over ride AP CTRL ALT. I can’t get my Wacom Intros Pro to work with that combo and it is driving me nuts as it works so well on my Mac. Your assistance is GREATLY appreciated! sorry just wanted to make sure I was notified of a reply.

I have both the Mac and Windows versions of AP. On the Mac, I can use Ctrl-Opt keys depressed to change the paint brush size and hardness. I have assigned this to my Wacom tablet and it works great!! I have spent two days looking in the forums and tutorials as to how to do the same with the Windows version. All I found was a reference to using a windows mouse to accomplish the goal. Also someone stated going into the Prefs and changing the paint brush shortcut was the way. That must have been with an older version. SO, please put me out of my misery by resolving this issue. I have a Surface Laptop, using the latest Windows 10 and your latest AP. Thanks so much.
