[Importing brush error]

@Sean PThanks for the response. i hope this gets fixed soon

[Brush organisation]

Hello affinity team,

Thank you for making my life so easy. Affinity sparked the creativity in me. Happy to create beautiful designs easy.

Suggestion: Could the brushes be organized by names? 

and the capacity to rename???

Now the brush that is added latest, shows up last.

I'd like to have this organized by name.

( For now due to some affinity bug, cannot import brushes )

Thanks

Gyan

[Importing brush error]

Hello, Affinity community,

has anyone noticed importing brush error? This is after the latest updates. Have never had this problem before. Since the problem exists in the affinity designer as well as affinity photo, i thought better ask the community. i cannot import any brushes in either of the programs. If anyone knows the fix, please lmk.

Thank you

Gyan

 

[Fractals]

Any chance Affinity designer can have features for designing fractals???

Thank you!!!

 

[Symmetric design or painting like in Corel Painter]

Trying to figure out if affinity designer or photo has the symmetric design or painting features and some cool sparkle brushes. i love affinity simplicity and how fast like a non-designer has learned soooooooo much and enjoys designing now, then i also love some features of other software and wish affinity had them. totally enjoying affinity!!!

 

Thanks!!!

Not per default prefs/option settings or the like. - What you can do instead is make yourself a template file (doc or artboard based) with the needed document size and black rect fill pseudo background and setup some dummy text there in the font(s) you want to use. Then every time to you need a new doc of that style just reuse that custom template you made.

Macros or scripting support are sadly not available in AD which is a shame, since they would be more than useful.

v_kyr, i figured it out. i created the gradient text exactly as i wanted with black background, then select all and then click edit/default/save.

magically, AD remembered my rgb, margin etc settings, the fill automatically black as i wanted and the text with the gradient that was perfectly set. Life became sooooooo much simpler.

 

Happy Camper!!!

Hi gyan1,

Welcome to Affinity Forums

What OS/Affinity version are you using?

1 - Click and drag the brush to place it anywhere you want within each category. Right-click on it and select Move Brush to Category to move them between categories.

2 - See my reply above. Right click the brush and select Move Brush to Category.

Hi MEB, Affinity designer version 1.6.2.97 

i meant can i have say all arrows, all flowers, all circles etc together. have to go one brush at a time. if i click on each one.

kind of having all categories organised.

Hi Gyan1,

 

Welcome to the forums

 

What happens when you try to import the brushes do you get any error messages?

Hi Callum, no error messages as such. it says brushes imported successfully. Now also figured out, have to be in the pixel persona to use brushes. Now trying to organise all brushes, to have them, use them logically in each of their categories. lmk, if you have figured this out. Thanks!

[Brushes to be sorted logically]

1. Has anyone figured out how to sort brushes, to be able to have in a logical order. For now there is no order. it adds as i add. the last one added shows up last.

2. And on the right had upper side there is a button to create new category. could import brushes there. could not figure out from where?

I believe you are in the Draw Persona. Those brushes are Vector based; go to the Pixel Persona and search for the Brushes you just imported.

That happened to me.

Best regards!

Thank you!!! yessss figured it out. Affinity designer is soooooo amazing that now with photoshop brushes and affinity simplicity, having lots of fun designing. Who ever created this program are the coolest people on the planet!!!

Gradients can also be part of a saved style, which can include stroke and fx settings too.

How?

[Macros for Affinity Designer]

i am creating a site with a black background. In designer, need to create many new documents. For consistency, need all black. so when i open a new document type web color format RGB/16, opens a page with white background. then i take the rectangle fill it with black and begin my illustration. The question is : is there a way to open new documents in black as default and the font i use most as default? if so, how? thanks. Affinity has made my life soooooooo easy, now i got addicted.

[Affinity Gradients]

Thanks Callum!!! That was perfect. Gradients saved for reuse. Have another question that will post on a new topic.

[Affinity Designer Brush import]

Successfully imported brushes in affinity photo. cannot do the same in designer. tried the same steps, upper right hand side import brushes. They are photoshop brushes.  can someone help? thanks

[Affinity Gradients]

i use lots of texts illustrations for which i need gradients. Affinity has the easiest tool. The problem is, i'd like to save the gradient to be able to use again and again. Like in Paintshop pro by Corel, have this feature. Is there such a feature? if so, how do i do it and have a collection of gradients. i use affinity designer as well as affinity photo. Thanks!
