Matjes Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Its still an issue, which would make the use of the programm so much nicer, as you can make so many different brushes, that it would be nice if you could name them rightfully and find them without hassle. I would be happy too if the name would just appear in the header if its not possible to make it in the brush pannel. (just in the settings of the Brush to see it when you choose the brush) Snapseed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrWG Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Please give the option to display brush names! It really hinders the workflow in the illustrating process to hunt for specific brushes. thomasmoulson and grrog 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasmoulson Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I've switched to photoshop now.. never thought I'd even bother trying it but sooo much better because it a) shows brush names, and b) highlights what brush you have selected, changes from blue to a red border around selected brush when you alter the size.. Not hard to implement this in Affinity you'd have thought but I'm all in photoshop now because of this simple thing.. can't see myself going back anytime soon as the autosave is a good plus too..

iconoclast Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Yes, to see the brush names permanently would be very helpful. I think the brush stroke previews must not be so big, so there would be place enough for the names - if they are not too long. For this case they could be cutted and faded with "..." at the end (like in the Layers Panel). GIMP has a nice solution for this. You can choose between only the brushes preview or a list with the previews and the names of the brushes behind it. And you can choose between 8 sizes for the previews/list. That's nice e.g. if you have a small monitor. Permanent highlighting of selected brushes would be very helpful too. I often miss that. grrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albo Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Hello, I don't think it is a better or worse issue VS other software. We just use the tools that we prefer and that's fine. For many reason's I am not using PSD because for me APHO works a lot better and without having to dish out money every month or year. This brush feature would be nice and I think Affinity might be working on this to implement it the best way possible. Forum is nice so we can point out how usefull this would be.

Theseus Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It sure would be nice with some sort of indication from Serif whether this is in their backlog or not. It continues to be an unnecessary irritation in both Photo and Designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serif generally does not comment on possible future development. The best statement they will usually make is "we might do it someday".

grrog Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Yes, an option to display brush names and a permanent highlighting of selected brushes are required. These options are necessary to organize and improve the way we work ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoryOR Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I just discovered brushes, and bought 3 packs in the Affinity store, and the first thought as I was playing around with them was "Why do I see numbers next to the brushes, but have to hover for a tooltip to see the name?" I'm writing this literally 5 minutes after downloading my new brushes. UX 101 - If I need to use tooltips, there's a problem with the UI. Please +1 on this!

DragonWhimsy Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 I just wanted to take a quick moment and say thank you to Serif for adding this feature in the upcoming 2.1 release. I started this thread two years ago and it seems only fitting to close it out with a big 'ol thank you! Showing the brush names as well as keeping the brush highlighted even after changing the size is going to make the whole brush experience feel so much smoother. It's greatly appreciated. thomasmoulson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasmoulson Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Wow, brilliant! I had another email exchange with them complaining about this again just recently, they didn’t tell me anything about an upcoming update.. so glad it is though. For me, it’s really going to propel Affinity to new heights 👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
