Here are my preference settings and the last brush size using the blur tool.

Hi @stokerg, Thank you for the reply. I have attached a screenshot of my preferences and the last brush size using the blur tool. I did not try to use it any smaller than that, though I will to see if there is a difference, though I know the effect will not be what I'm looking for. I will also try the latest beta to see if the same thing happens.

I'm have some issues using these tools. I am working on a project and try to use the blur tool and my PC starts revving loudly and takes close to 10 minutes to catch up after making one stroke. Is this a PC issue or an Affinity issue? Does anyone have a recommendation/solution? Is there a change I can make in performance settings? I am running with Affinity Photo 1.8.5.703 on an HP Pavilion AMD A-12-9800 Radeon R7, 3.8 GHz, 16 GB RAM, XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro. The project is 11"x 8.5" 300 dpi. Thank you in advance.

Yes, this is a much needed update.

Thank you! These will be very useful!

Try this. It also has info on Photo and Publisher updates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YplFAxVPhQ&list=LL-dKpBEC5n2jb-xMjkvtpSw&index=25&t=0s

Thank you for the advice Callum. I will look in to that.

I had to adjust my pen pressure for vector brushes. Hope that helps.

Hello everyone, First of I must admit I am not much of a technical person, so forgive me if I seem a bit naïve. I've been running AD for a couple years now and have had a very good experience, mostly doing small vector drawings. As I have gotten better I have been creating larger illustrations and it seems as though my computer cannot handle the larger files. I start getting a lot of lag and the fan sounds like my PC is about to take off. My specs: HP Pavilion PC Windows 10 Home (1809 64-bit) AMD A12-9800 Radeon R7 12 compute cores 4C+8G 3.8 GHz 8 GB RAM I've also recently purchased an XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro. It works great until the lag and fan issues start. I've tried adjusting the RAM usage limit in preferences to 4GB, but that hasn't seemed to affect the performance. What would be your suggestion/recommendations? Add more RAM? A better graphics card? Or is it something more technical? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mike
