Affinity Photo - "Click-to-Move Delay"

[Prince_Van]

Hi everyone,

I'm quite new to Affinity Photo and there's a thing that's really annoying: When I use the brush to draw a line, I ususally do this:

Click -> Move -> Line appears

Now, here's what it's like with Affinity Photo:

Click -> Move some pixels... nothing happens... -> move some more pixels -> Line appears. 

It feels like Affinity doesn't trust my mouse stability, like... "Let's see if his movement is a wanted movement or if he's just wabbling with his hand, because he's an old man".

That makes it quite hard to paint lines that are very short. Also, when I use my XP Pen to draw, it's hard, as don't instantly see where my line is going.

 

I hope this is just a setting - can someone please help? 

 

Thx!

 

David

Hi @Prince_Van and Welcome to the Forums,

Which operating system are you running Affinity on?  Also what size brush are you trying to paint with?

Hi Stokerg,

I'm running Windows 10, and the latest Version of Affinity Photo (1.8.5.703)

I recorded a little Video to show you what I mean - please find it attached.

 

thank you!

Hi @Prince_Van,

Thanks for the recording.

Can you click Edit>Preferences  and on the Tools section change the Tablet Input Method to Windows Ink.  Also try checking the driver for the tablet and make sure Windows ink is also enabled in there and then try using the tablet again

Hi @stokerg,

 

thank you - that did it for my XP Pen 🙂 However, still the same behavior with my mouse - also any idea here? 🙂

 

thank you!
