Artcraft Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Affinity Photo Okay i draw with the brush tool, hold left alt and suddenly I'm able to resize my brush? few moments later I hold alt again and now it's a color picker? Is there a way to control this random behaviour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 To me alt activates the color picker but ctrl-alt let me change brush width (click-move left-right) and brush hardness (click-move up/down).

v_kyr Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 You can check what is setup in the related Affinity preferences under the keyboard shortcut settings and if something isn't setup the right way for you manipulate (change/reassign) the settings.

With a single click when holding ctrl-alt you toggle between size/hardness > shape/spacing > rotation.

Artcraft Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Well that was the issue. I didn't knew about this because obviously, I don't draw with my mouse and my pen doesn't have a right and left mouse button and still, by pressing my pen on my tablet and pushing the alt button i could change the brushsize for ...10minutes? then the function disappeared and now it's a colorpicker. The very reason I'm actually confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
