Couple questions about Affinity Photo's hotkeys


Recommended Posts

1) The documentation says that Alt + RMB + Drag changes the size and softness of the brush, but for some reason this does not happen.
2) Is there any hotkey in Affinity that restores the colors to default, like in Photoshop is keyboard D, which puts black and white on the primary and secondary colors.
Or is there something else in Affinity for this?

Thanks you!

1. A "Drag" (for Affinity) is moving the mouse with the LMB depressed, Tim. So you need Alt + RMB + LMB + move the mouse.

2. There is an action for that, but it has no assigned shortcut. Edit your Affinity Preferences for Shortcut Keys and you can assign D if you want. It's under the Photo Persona as part of Miscellaneous.
