[Affinity takes over my brush files. Help!]

Hi,

 

You probably assigned designer/photo to open abr files.

Try assigning abrmate(freeware windows abrtool) as the main program to open/view abr files

This way you should be able to import abr files through the program of choice.

**NOTE**  Not all abr files can be opened or viewed by abrMate

How do I unassign on mac? Also tried importing, but CP doesn't recognize the file.

To be clear, are you saying that you tried to open the .abr files with Corel Painter and it failed?  Was there an error message?

Yes, I tried to do it directly and through the settings of the brush library. I've Corel Painter 2015

[Paint mixer is laggy]

I suggest using airbrushes and "manual" blending (the method where you over lay 2 colors get the mid-tone and do that again with the mid-tone until satisfied) rather than the mix tool. I prefer that because it gives me some space to play around... Also if you just need a transition try using gradients instead of smudging everything by hand.

[Affinity Photo and Wacom]

As far as I searched the web when I was looking for a tablet, I found that Affinity supports Wacom. (but I don't know so much in detail since my tablet doesn't have the extra features)

[Affinity takes over my brush files. Help!]

I use Affinity Photo for photo retouch and Corel Painter for digital art. I downloaded some custom brushes from the web, they are in .abr format, but my computer only allows them to be opened in Affinity Photo, Corel just doesn't recognize them any more. What should I do? How do I fix this? Thanks in advance for the replies.

Thank you very much!

[Simpel remove yellow background of old newspaperscans]

There is a selesction Tool tonal selection under Select section and I suggest selecting Shadows (it will select all the black from the text) and Introverting it or you can just select midtones and correcting the selection if it's incorect. Then just make a new layer and Bucket Fill it all white.

[Is Affinity Designer worth it?]

I've been doing digital art for a while now (no really long one) and I've been drawing in Affinity Photo comparing to Krita I liked it way better. But can someone explain is Affinity Designer worth the switch and why?

[Resizing Lineart]

I draw in Affinity Photo and I've seen people draw and resize the lineart on YT. I just can't figure it out... Please give me a hand so I don't have to undo or erase and redraw the thing.

To blend colors with mixer brush you have to lay down at least 1 in between color and clean the brush all the time

I think the advantage of having AP on a computer is that you have more storage place for all your photos

Another way, you can select hair with lasso or other selecting tools and darken the color

[RAW]

I have opened some NEF files successfully. The camera was a Nikon D500. I am interested in the amount of noise produced by the RAW conversion engine. It seems to be more than Photoshop CC. What are the optimum settings for converting RAW files? I can use some setting adjustments to reduce noise but the issue with any noise reduction process is always how much detail is lost to smoothing. I like being able to see the impact as a before after view option. What recommendations do you have for me? I like the program but I am a little concerned about the RAW development engine.

What suggestions do you I have?

I have developed raws, the results are similar to PS CC results. I set settings individually for every photo. There is a button on the side to compare before and after.

[Which graphic tablets does Affinity support?]

I have been thinking of getting a graphic tablet for a while and I don't want to get another software. So do I need Affinity Designer for drawing with a graphic tablet of Affinity photo will do? Which brands does Affinity support? (e. g. Wacom, Huion etc.)
