Unknown brushes in Affinity Photo


Recommended Posts

Hi.  I had to reset my brushes to the factory default, as I accidentally copied a brush to a category other than the one I was intending (...using a tablet pen, sometimes it would just do a phantom button click, even though I was still scrolling through the category list during the copy procedure!).  So, I wasn't sure where that brush actually ended up... and I eventually decided to do the factory reset (of the brushes).

Problem is (as I quickly realized soon afterwards), that meant all the other brushes I installed were removed (.....facepalm).

So, I've now re-installed them all (hopefully), but in my other copy of APhoto on my other machine, I actually have a couple more brush category folders, but I am realy not sure what brush set (or whatever) generated them.  At first, I thought it was categories that I made, but the brushes inside have names relating to the category, so that doesn't seem likely (...it wasn't me dragging in stuff from various categories into a 'Favorites' type of thing).

So, that all said... I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if they know of any brush set (paid or free) that creates the following category folders (and brushes inside them):

Effects (Effects 3, Effects 2)  (Seems like fur type brushes)

Texture (Grunge 6)

Drawing (Drawing 1-6)

Painting (Painting 2,6 and 10)

Anyone recognize any of these, and can name where they are from?

 

Also....  Am I right in thinking that even if I can't find the associated brush pack (install files), I could (for now) export these brushes from the 2nd APhoto install, and import them into the first one (which is missing them)?

The names look familiar, but I'm not sure where they came from. But yes, you can export from one of your installations and import into the other.

I've installed (seemingly) everything I have, as far as brush packs are concerned.

Well, it seems the exported ones are as good as regular install files, so, I'll store those as the installers in my library until I find the originals (....although, I guess there won't really be any difference between the two).

Still curious where they are from, though...
