All the brushes just went blank - something to do with making sure file not too big or something probably - I'll keep an eye on it

So I'm trying to create this effect but applying a Perspective Mesh to some text and then CTRL+J ing a 3D effect How do I get a good symmetry clicking and dragging the top middle and bottom middle of the box so everything that is vertically parallel remains parallel and I create a bulge in the middle that is dead centre and vertically symmetric ? I tried holding shift or ctrl etc but they didn't do anything when dragging Maybe there are some settings I can tweak on the Fisheye Warp ? otherwise the default transformation was useless in this instance

Yeah the Brushes Panel - see all the missing Brush Preview Thumbnails 👍

I think it was a large pixel layer - the file size was only 101MB but the pixel layer was large in terms of area

Should have put this in the bug section Here is a picture of it doing it again now

No worries - the app crashed before I could do a screen shot and now the brushes are showing again

Another useful bug to help the work flow Nothing more to say - they're just not showing

This was the previous thread I created - I just re-read it - the solution is to apply a group to the pixel layer and then the transparency gradient will work on the group - even if it's one layer just wrap a group round and Hey Presto ! A workaround but seriously something that should have been fixed ! Applying Transparency Gradient To Pixel Layers?

I see the Windows version adds a little brush icon to the layer which you can click on and it shows you what brush it is - very handy 👍 But it doesn't do this on the iPad - not very handy 👎 Why are there so many inconsistencies between the Windows and iPad version - how hard can it be to just apply the same features to both

I've had problems doing this in the past and I think I've achieved this or found a workaround but here I am again coming back to the software and scratching my head over this I just want to apply a transparency gradient to a pixel layer If I apply a transparency gradient to an object constraining pixel layers it only applies the gradient to the top layer ! Solution: Group the Pixel Layers 👍

What More button I can't see this ?

Seems like it - not sure why the colour wheel on the right works but only sometimes though - bit confusion there seems to be a lot of confusion on this software with different buttons that do the same thing - especially on the brushes

Swipe Left from the Brushes Panel - I'm sure there was some way to duplicate it before that saved Brush Copy 1, 2 etc

Oh well I'm glad they improved the userability of the apps in V2 then 🤦‍♂️

Cheers - would be nice if it retained the settings when duplicating the brush though ? otherwise how do I save a copy of the brush I'm using ?

I'm trying to duplicate a Brush so I can save the brush settings and it's just resetting everything too I'm off to Adobe world see ye later

Why does it keep putting this red box round the brush I have selected too ? What does it mean - looks like a warning about something

You know what else this bug where if you CTRL+Z to clear the brushes and start again it leaves a massive splodge that isn't there Is it always going to do that or are there any plans to fix this particular bug because I'm seriously fed up with it it just screws up my work flow constantly

My assistant settings are set to add pixel layers - this is what has been happening and nothing in the settings have changed

Nope it's doing it again - it's like if I try to add a pixel layer to an object it's just stuck on the colour it's filled with from Vector Mode If I just create a pixel layer and add it then I can get round this though

Breaking News - it's working again 🤦‍♂️

It's supposed to create a Pixel Layer for me - it will create a Pixel in the colour it's stuck on Why are these videos I uploaded no longer embedding?

I got it - I need to click on Colour Overlay first to set the Context Menu Whatever was there on the Context Menu before when I was trying to do this wasn't the menu I needed

I thought it might be something to do with the document I’m working on ie. Missing fonts but I just opened a new document and tried this and it’s not letting me pick the colour of my pixel brush IMG_0216.MOV

Nope - it's not letting me pick the colour again - I'm away to play computer games for the rest of the night !😡
