Downloaded the 90-day trial of Photo and can't use the mouse shortcuts like changing brush size/hardness


Recommended Posts

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.

Hi Frozen Death Knight, I can't see what would be the cause here. 

  1. What shortcuts did you try?
  2. Standard mouse, magic mouse, trackpad?
  3. As it's a clean install, did you try a ctrl reset?

It was a brand new installation. Never used Affinity on a Mac before, only Windows. 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. : (

Mac usually (but perhaps not always) uses Opt (Option) not Alt.
