I hadn't noticed the Intesity Brush before. I just tried it out and it's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much!

Is there really no one that can help me with this?

I'm fairly new to Affinity Photo (I've been playing with it for little over a week) and I gotta say, it is probably the best impulse buy I ever made on the AppStore and I expect to be using this app for a long time. I came in from Procreate, so I wanted to recreate my favorite brushes. I saved the brush shape and texture and created a new brush in Affinity with them. I test the brush out and I noticed that the color of the brush is not affected by the color I choose in the color picker but instead it's always the color of the brush image I use. Is there a setting I'm missing that will make image brushes be affected by the color picker, or is the image brush meant to be like a stamp and can't be affected by color? If it's the latter, how do I make a brush similar to the ones in the "Painting" category?

I haven't had any problems importing large brush packs. I just recently imported an abr file that had about 200 brushes. But I also the problem with Photoshop brushes. I notice that it usually does import some of the settings, but they're set to "None" so it doesn't take effect, and the spacing is usually off, too.

Awesome brushes! Loving them so far!

I am also new to Affinity Photo. While I'm not experiencing the same problem as your first question, I would also like to know the answer to your second question and experience the same thing as your third question, to some extent. For the brush categories, I would really like to be able to duplicate and move brushes around. There are so many good brushes bundled with Affinity that I'd like to be able to have a custom category with the brushes I like most so I won't have to search through the categories to find the specific one I'm looking for. Duplicating brushes would also allow me to make edits to those brushes without harming the original. As for the brush quirk, I seem to experience this most when the brush has 100% pressure sensitivity to the size and the brush is huge. While it still happens when the brush size is small, it's much less noticeable. I'd also want to note that I'm using the iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil.
