ravinat Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 I have used Affinity Photo for a while and noticed that recently the Paintbrush tool behaves differently. When I select a color and start painting over a layer, the cursor changes to a stick like object and this makes it confusing for me on where I have painted and where I haven't. Is there some setting that I accidentally set to a different value? Quote
walt.farrell Posted November 26, 2020 Posted November 26, 2020 What brush are you using, and is that "stick like object" perhaps a preview of the brush's cross-section? If so, perhaps investigate this Preference: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Uploading a screenshot of your stick like object may help Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

ravinat Posted November 26, 2020 Author Posted November 26, 2020 I turned off 'Show brush previews' and that made no difference. When I release the mouse button, the stick like object disappears. Not sure how I can send you a screen capture. Quote
ravinat Posted November 26, 2020 Author Posted November 26, 2020 It was the stabilizer. When I turned that off, it became OK. Thanks carl123. Quote
