Thomas Haslwanter Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I am using Windows 10 Education, Build 10.0.19041 Affinity Designer 1.9.0 Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Tablet Gen 3 The pressure sensitivity of the Lenovo stylus has been verified with other apps (specifically, with "InkPaint"). So the problem has to be related to the Settings of my Affinity products. I have been unable to get any kind of pressure sensitivity to work, either with the "pressure" mode, nor with the "velocity" mode. (The problems with the "velocity" mode are also confirmed on a Windows desktop PC, with the same version of Affinity Designer). This is NOT a problem with a Wacom tablet. I have also NOT been able to establish any velocity-sensitive stroke/brush dependence on my "Affinity Photo 1.9.0" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Ingram Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 And make sure you are using a brush with pressure configured, or press the "Force Pressure" button on the brush toolbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Haslwanter Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 This got me one step further. Now the pressure gets detected by "Designer" (as indicated in the "Pressure" tab, which changes according to the pressure along the line). But I still get no effect on the stroke or the brush. I have also tried the "Velocity" controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted February 9, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi Thomas Haslwanter, Looking at your screenshot you're using a very small stroke width of 0.2pt. The pressure curve will only adjust the size based on the maximum of 0.2pt (or what width you have set). If you up this to something higher (do it from the Context Toolbar, otherwise the Stroke Panel will just change the selection) you should find that the pressure will be visible.

Mark Ingram Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 @Sean P is correct, I can see the pressure being applied to the start of the strokes in your screenshot. If you want more of a dramatic effect, choose a bigger stroke width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Haslwanter Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 That fixed it. Thank you very much!! Mark Ingram 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
