Mumphy Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hello, 1) I just started using Affinity Photo and right away noticed pressure sensitivity did not work. I got it to work for size though after reading in the forum, but not for opacity. Dragging the flow slider doesn't do the job as the line becomes uneven (see image). Is this really the way I need to go about using pressure sensitivity? It seems very strange to me that it isn't enabled by default and that it should be this tedious working with pressure sensitivity. 2) When I use the brush tool, my lines become jagged (see image). Is there a way to fix this? My software and hardware: Wacom Cintiq 22HD Affinity 1.8.3.641 Windows 10 Pro N 64bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepr Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hi and welcome to the Affinity forums! 2) The factory hard brushes look terrible, in my opinion. To get a smooth hard edge, decrease the spacing to about 8% and enter 99.9% or 99.8% for the hardness. (The app controls misleadingly present a non-integer percentage as an integer percentage, but the real value will be used internally.) Spacing can be increased as hardness is decreased. Avoiding the overlapping dabs of the brush being distinct when flow is reduced requires tighter spacing than normal for any given hardness. By the way, when using soft brushes, it's almost essential to set the document to 16 bits per channel to prevent distinct banding as brush strokes are overlaid because Affinity (currently) has no option to dither soft brushes.

Hello! I appreciate the help, that did it! I guess I just have to experiment more and try to create my own brushes. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
