ravinat Posted November 25, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted November 26, 2020 Share 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, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravinat Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 It was the stabilizer. When I turned that off, it became OK. Thanks carl123. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
