Frozen Death Knight Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 I downloaded Affinity Photo 1.8.3 on my Macbook Air last night to check if I could get it to work. However, when I finally loaded the program I was unable to use any of the mouse shortcuts, which made it very hard to use the program as intended. I don't know if it's a bug or something else I am doing wrong, but I need help nonetheless. Quote
Staff Chris B Posted April 8, 2020 Staff Posted April 8, 2020 Hi Frozen Death Knight, I can't see what would be the cause here. What shortcuts did you try? Standard mouse, magic mouse, trackpad? As it's a clean install, did you try a ctrl reset? Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials

I used my regular Windows mouse since the touchpad didn't work, but that didn't help either. Was trying to use alt+R click since that's what I heard was the shortcut on Mac. Also tried the Windows version alt+R click+L click and didn't work either. I tried resetting everything with ctrl as you said, but it still doesn't work I'm afraid. : ( Quote

Staff MEB Posted April 8, 2020 Staff Posted April 8, 2020 Hi Frozen Death Knight, Press and hold ctrl+alt then click and drag horizontally to change the size of the brush and vertically to change the hardness of the brush. Frozen Death Knight 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
