Walt, yes I have resolved the issue. Some brushes have fixed, non-adjustable hardness. In my early troubleshooting I tried fixed hardness brushes. The basic brush and others allow adjustment. My fault for not trying every brush. Minor issue was where affinity hides it's program files in Windows. Thanks for the help here. I learned more about how Affinity works.

I'm having the same problem with apparent presets on brush hardness wIith V2 and V2 Beta for Windows. Grayed out and locked at hardness levels from 79% to 100% depending on the brush. I've looked for files with the names above and cannot find them using search for various terms in File Explorer. Have one last running. Is this for MAC? Is there a Windows equivalent? If not what would be a complete location? I found it. C:\users\username\.affinity\common\2.0\user I had earlier downloaded a brush pack. The hardness appears to be set for some of those brushes. Hardness is adjustable for Basic Brush.

Thanks. That worked.

I just downloaded Photos V2. I want to colorize old black and white photos. Where do I get the color palates? The tutorials all seem to have them. All I get is black and white choices. I'm sure I'm missing something really simple. Where do I get colors to do this?
