GFS Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Wondering what the support is for Wacom tablets in Affinity Photo? I don't seem to be getting normal behaviour. Quote Grumpy, but faithful (watch out all you cats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 5, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hi GFS, Affinity Photo fully support Wacom tablets. Can you check if you have the Controller dropdown on the context toolbar for the Brush tool set to Automatic or Pressure?

GFS Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hi MEB, I'm not seeing anything like that. Maybe I'm misunderstanding? Quote Grumpy, but faithful (watch out all you cats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFS Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 I've understood part of the problem ... support for right-click via the Control key modifier is flakey at best, whether using a mouse or a pen. For example, control-clicking a mask on a layer (sub-layer) activates both the master layer (image) AND the mask and I get a pop-up menu that is applicable to the layer itself. Right clicking the mask, brings up a different menu and does NOT activate the image layer. I would call this a bug. No wonder I'm having a hard time understanding what's going on. :huh: Quote Grumpy, but faithful (watch out all you cats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 6, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hi GFS, Sorry. I missed the Affinity Photo part on your post. The Controller option i was talking about is for Affinity Designer. In Photo it should work out of the box. If you have you have a nested mask (attached to a layer), yes right-clicking on the mask will give you a different menu, specific to the mask. If the mask is above the image as an independent layer, right-cliking on it brings up the regular layer menu.

GFS Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Thanks MEB. I'll see how I go with the Wacom ... still finding my way with Affinity. Should I post the right-clicking anomaly somewhere as a bug? Seems like it has been standard Mac behaviour for at least 25 years, that the Control key invokes the contextual menu.

Staff MEB Posted October 6, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yes pressing ⌃(ctrl) and clicking on a mask doesn't bring up the contextual menu for the mask and instead selects the whole layer and brigs up the regular layer menu. I will log this to be looked at. Thanks for letting us know. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFS Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Sure is confusing when working with a pen and using the tablet keys as modifiers. Having a right-click set on the pen's button is far less fluid. :) Quote Grumpy, but faithful (watch out all you cats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
