[Affinity Designer cannot get pressure response with Dell pen or Wacom One]

@walt.farrell Sorted, thank you so much!!! 

I've been Googling for an answer for ages but it didn't turn up that little nugget of advice. I'd set the brush pressure, but as you advised it needed the Controller set to Pressure too.

 

[Affinity Designer cannot get pressure response with Dell pen or Wacom One]

Hi, 

I've got a Dell 7200 2 in 1 and the Dell PN557W pen which is a branded Wacom pen - I can't get Affinity Designer to respond to pressure even though I've set the stroke and pressure under the brush More settings. So I tried with the Wacom One tablet and also no pressure. I'm running Windows 11. 

Because neither device works I'm guessing there's something I'm not doing correctly. Any suggestions? Pressure works in OneNote and Concepts but I would like to use Affinity Designer if possible.

Thank you.

BofG, 

That worked! Fabulous you've made my day - thank you so much for your help with this. Now I can crack on and start learning Affinity Designer. 

All the best, 

Richard

Thank you very much for your time looking at this - I have to go out now but will try the setting you suggest later.

Here they are - I know the laptop's screen doesn't display colours well - I have a 2nd monitor which is closer to srgb - I'm not sure how that affects the difference between what affinity shows and what it exports?  Again, probably my lack of understanding.

See attached AD file - I just tried some other random colours and pasted a screenshot of settings onto the artboard before export. Curously there also seems to be some disparity between the colour of the blocks and the colour in the settings fill circle. 

Affinity (colour not same as hex value)

Export colour same as hex value

No, just standard Win10 settings for fairly cheap laptop

png export is on the default settings - I tried a couple of others, bicubic and png/8 for example and looked at the other presets but couldn't see anything that made a difference - I'm sure I'm missing something as many users must be creating colour accurate images for the web.

Hi BofG, thank you for your quick response. 

Here's the document setting which I believe is the default - I've tried using a Web template but the same colour difference remains. 

Here is the colour settings for the red brick object:

I appreciate any assistance you can give me.

[Affinity Designer hex colours different to the export]

Hi, 

I'm a newbie and just bought Affinity Designer to finally replace Fireworks CS3 which I use to create, enhance and optimise simple web graphics (logos etc.) and photos. I work in Hex colours and colour matching is essential for me - but the hex colours shown on Affinity's artboard are different to the actual hex values - as in below screenshots:

Affinity Designer - red bricks in colour settings are #E1906E but the colour displayed is not correct. The greys are wrong too. 

  

PNG Export from AD - red bricks are showing #E1906E correctly - I need Affinity to show the correct colour for hex value too. 

I can see AD has tons of amazing features, but perhaps it's not right for my needs? Export sizes are also large in comparison to Fireworks, but that's another topic. 

Any help would be appreciated.
