It's when I switch brush, dropper, @thomaso. I'm having a lot of trouble keeping my Intuos 6 in sync, too, with AP. So maybe it has something to do with my waccom. Just upgraded from Intuos 4 a couple months ago.

I get a loud beep changing between brush & dropper, sometimes. I'm using a waccom 6. The sound is irritating. Anybody know what the cause of the sound is and how to stop it?

How do I know they're AD brushes, look the same as the others. Any way to convert them to AP?

I've imported my rope chains.afbrushes repeatedly. Get the alert that 7 are imported, but they don't show in my AP brush panel. Thoughts? Feel free to use them. rope chains.afbrushes

Free download worked fine

PureRef, which is totally free to download and use! http://www.pureref.com Anybody tired this? It's an image reference palette. Works on windows & Mac

I think strength % is the level that the brush mixes, smudges, the color pixels below the brush. I'm on a mac, too.

The images are for my 2BTshirts on Amazon. Appreciate that you noticed the hands. I still struggle over them, sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much.

I've sent years dealing with AP mixer brush not working. And finally the WHY - yippee.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc5sSt293eI - mixer brush tutorial. Wes mention a reference image plug-in. Anybody know what the name of it is? I didn't even know you could get AP plugin ; )

I was working in psd with mixer brush, then back to AP I tried reducing Paint Mixer Brush Strength below 100%. No idea why 100% Strength doesn't work or what the best #s to set strength are. PSD has those presets for moist, heavy, dry… Any thoughts? Hopefully this will last. Back to watching all the youtube Paint Mixer Brush tutorials.

I've had this problem for years. Watched every AP Painter Mixer Brush on tutorial on youtube. No help. I reset my brushes yesterday. No change. From now on I'll stick to regular AP brushes and if I really need a mixer brush go back to painter or photoshop. Thanks for giving it a shot.

Early May 2022 it worked for awhile then went belly up again. Used the Paint Mixer Brush on the hair.

This is exactly what I want to happen without auto-load.

Please make AP Paint Mixer Brush work in next version. It works with auto load but when cleaned nothing happens on a rasterized image.

Wish you could help me with my AP Paint Mixer Brush not working, @walt.farrell. I use clean & load, no autoload. Nothing happens. There must be setting that locks pixels, or something like that. Any suggestions would be great.

Possibly the same as @walt.farrellanswer above?

Importing Gradients as System didn't work. See screenshot.

Sounds like importing Gradients as System would give me access in AD & AP. Excellent, thanks @walt.farrell

Worked perfectly, Walt. I had my gradients as an AD, so couldn't import into AP. I imported as an Application palette rather than system or document – best?

Thanks for hanging in there, Nathan

Anyway to import Affinity Designer gradients into Affinity Photo?

Really appreciate your taking the time to respond. Turning Auto Load Brush OFF & clicking Clean Brush "C". Should be able to drag thru paint, but can't. In the past I could get PMB to work for awhile then it would stop. This has been happening for years. I tried PMB in a tiny file — doesn't work. Can't find a "protecting pixels" in a brush or on layers that might be checked on & off. So for now I can only use regular brushes.

Paint Mixer Brush works for a little while then stops altogether. Seems to be getting worse with each new AP version. I suppose I should just switch to PSD or Painter when I want to mix paint.

unless I have auto load clicked Paint Mixer Brush doesn't do anything. Help please
