Oh, yes it does work. thanks for the tip. Still, i have pen in the right hand and the left hand is free to use keyboard shurtcuts for faster work.

Thank you very much for the answers guys. Unfortunately the numeric keypad won't work for me as I have all necessary shortcuts on the left side of the keyboard. I guess i will have to readjust to new things if i want to use AP. Thank you for redirecting me to the brush increments thread also.

I also would very much like this to be redesign so that increments are always by 1px with small brushes (1-20px range maybe) then it can be by 5px for bigger ones. The inablity to go back to the original size of the brush right now (using increase/decrease size brush shurtcuts) is one of the most frustrating things in AP for me.

Hi evereryone, Few questions about AP that bothers me for quite some time. Firstly, shortcuts. It seems like by default numbers are set to change the opacity of layer and brush. I would like to change it, but I can't find that shortcuts in the preferences. I want to set decrease/increase size brush to 1 and 2 respectively (it's just how I used to work in different software, it's easy for my workflow). Even though AP allows me to set those numbers in shortcuts, it still changes the opacity of brush instead of it's size. Is there some workaround for that? Secondly, more annoying is that decrease and increase size brush have some strange jump sizes. I would like it to change by 1px (especially when i am working with small brushes 2-6px range), but it jumps by 0.6 or 0.4 or 0.5 every time different. If i start with 4px size and then decrease it and increase I can't even go back to the original 4px. It's always 4.3 or 4.2 or 4.5 etc. Very frustrating Is there a way to set the decrease/increase size increments by 1px all the time ? Lastly, is there a way to keep brush cursor a small circle instead of cross when using small brushes. It's changing to cross when the brush is small and i dont really like it. Thank you.

I have missed couple betas, This one seems to handle my Wacom ctl-480 much better than previous versions. I have to test it more, but is seems like the initial stroke lag is finally gone.

The problem with some tablets (especially Wacom) persists from the very first beta. It seems like they have difficulties solving that one. It is hardly a driver issue. It's the same problem on every driver for over a year now

I am not sure what performance was improved, but i don't feel any change with wacom tablet.

This is exactly the same respone as every before. I don't want to be rude debraspicher. I know you want to help and i appreciate it... but have you read what i wrote ?? After checking dozens of drivers, on different systems where only AP did not work correctly, you still asking "are we sure it is not a Wacom problem?".... So what esle people can do to be at last sure whether it is or not a Wacom problem? This is becoming ridiculous. It is an AP problem because AP is the only one that does not handle Wacom properly. The alternative statement would be that all ofther softwares (which handle Wacom well) are doing it wrong. Does poeple truly believe in the latter ? To be honest most people who had a Wacom drivers problem was those who did autoupdate from Wacom Desktop Center. It does not make a clean driver installation and have caused many problems over the years. I have no clue why they still didn't fix the auto aupdate, people just go with that and then complain (justified) to Wacom that new driver is broken. I did that too couple years ago, but after that i always do a clean install of new drivers and have never had problem again.

Hey Halo It is good someone else is also trying to get to Serif team with this problem. I kind of feel tired already of posting same thing and hear same respones over and over again. From me again, I checked drivers, did clean install for diffrent versions, check other software's (in terms of possible conflicts), reinstall windows (8.1), nothing helped. Interesting thing is that my Wacom works fine in PS, Krita, Gimp, Sai, Black ink, Inkscape... it is ONLY Affinity Photo that has this problem. I believe there is a certain line of Wacom small tablets that has this problem in AP. After all i could do on my PC i was pretty sure it is not anything wrong with it. As a last resort i installed my tablet on completaly different PC on win 7. All the softwares handled my wacom well on that PC expect AP, again. So after that i am pretty sure there is something wroing with AP and this certain line of Wacom tablets. For me disabeling history tab dosen't change a thing. If it does, it is nearly impossible to catch.

It's been a year since i bought AP and the bug that is very unnoying to me (and actually prevents me from using AP completaly) haven't been fixed yet. I am talking about some wacom tablets lags and strokes that are not a perfect curves. I am very disappointed, whole round year and all i see was one attemp to improve it with with a updated that was reverted. Not a word since then about any work toward fixing this problem.

Sean, are you working on any fixes / improvement for wacom tablets? It is been very long time since last time you ever addressed the issue and it was not solved yet.

Do you mean that you have "some" lag? I have been waiting for a Wacom fix since first beta and still cannot use it at all, because of the constant lags. Are you still working on it ?

Can you tell when we can expect improvements/fix for some of wacom tables which don't work correctly now ?

Since the last couple betas it seems like there is slight improvement with Wacom tables, but still have lags when starting drawing (not not every stroke but every second, third) as well as circles are very angular.

I have check the High Precision input from WinTab (Wacom and compatible) option. It is really hard to say anything changes.I have an impression like the circles (when draw fast) are slighlty better rounded and smooth, but still not perfect. On the other hand the lag at the begginig of every new stroke seems little worse.

Do you realized that Affinity Photo is for Win 7, Win 8.x and Win 10? Check it Just because it works fine on Win10 now, dosent mean the software is falwless. If devepolers are saying that it can be used on Win 8 then i expect it to work on that system. I find your post arrogant, Just because it works for you, dosent mean everyone else are not important anymore. How would you feel if from next update Win 7 and Win 8 AP will work like a charm, but Win 10 will be crashing and everyone will say "I dont care Win10 version dont work, because on mine win its working fine" Every Windows had tons of bugs and fixes, you will see that Win 10 will have more fixes then Win 8 at some point. New system dosent always means better and new system dosent mean that previous is bad.

Wow, i can only take your post as a big joke.

For me turning the History tab off doesnt help at all. At least i dont see any difference with it on and off.

First thank you for focusing on that problem. I have tested new version. Unfortunately no luck :( attached a file with more info.

This beta expired. You were too late. Have to wait for new one.

Hey Mark. I have the same problem that occurs from the beginning of beta. First and the most severe is the one i mentioned in this post. The delay when starting a new stroke Second is not smoth lines when drawing circles. Instead of smooth line its seems like its composed from straight strokes.Here is the post of different user who upload a good screen. I think with the latest update the smothness is better, but still not good enough. This bugs are on CTL Wacom series.

Eh, to give you quick answer, yes i did google it, long time before. When AP has its first beta and indeed back the i thought it may be a driver or win problem. All the problems others had and fixes dosen't work for AP. I have check everything i could. Since then there was several new driver updates, i also check AP with Wacom on diferent mashines, no luck. Some of my friends have same issue, only with AP. It is really hard to believe its a Wacom problem when everything else is working ok. I dont want to argue with people every single time. I know some of you want to help, but if you really want to help, instead of throwing "its wacom problem" in the face and feel proud you know better, tell us how to fix this. If you dont know, then stop wasting yours and my time on futile discussion. I am really interested now only what dev team has to say. They never stated that this is Wacom problem, so i presume they know something its wrong and probably wants to fix it.

Ok, so it seems like every other good and even less known softwares that are out, got wacom to work with that faulty drivers, no biggy, while AP - released too soon with many bugs yet - is perfectly fine and its wacom's fault.... Ah that logic :/ Wacom will not help individual with this problem as ther answer is same. "Our products works with all well known software that are out for some time. while AP is new on the market and still in developement" How can it be that so many people blame wacom driver while its working flawlessly. Going with your logic, Wacom and all other graphic softwares are BAD (while its working), only AP does the job well (whle it's not working). Edit. I have check my Wacom on 3 different mashines, two Windows 8.1 different config and one Windonw 7. It is working perfectly with all programs except AP. This is another proof that it is hardly a Win cofing problem or a faulty driver.

I have never had any problems with my Wacom on Win. You are talking like Wacom is a well known from having issues. Well maybe for you. I, my friends and acquaintances who use Wacom never had major issues like here with AP. I am not sure what trial and error you have gone through to "get Wacom to even work", but to me it seems like individual problem. Dont take wacom as a faulty product for granted. It serves me well for a long time without a small problem on 6 other well known softwares i have used. I know some Wacoms work good with AP, but it seems like one particular series still have problems and it it not wacom driver issue, but the AP. You say "small hard core of Wacom users will never get it working fine". First, it is not our job to get it work (unless its win/mac configuration problem) its the software developer who must get it to work. As i said before, Wacoms work flawleslly with other softwares, but AP, so please dont tell nonsense its win and/or driver problem.

When can we expect the fixes for Wacom tablet? Or at least some more info about progress making with that, if any? From the very first beta all i read is "Yes we know about that and we working on it". So many new customer betas released (one even with 200+ fixes.. supposedly) and still no progress on fixing this particular one... which in my opinion is one of the most severe bug right now.
