JeMa Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Hello, I am a beginner with working with Affinity Photo, but I am already totally thrilled by what this Software can do. In order to get familiar in using it, I work through the according work book. In the project "Pure Gold" the book has me to choose a certain brush ("Malen 1") from the "Gemälde" ("Painting" in English?) category. Unfortunately I cannot find this brush in my collection (see attached picture). Aren't these brushes in this category part of the standard software setup of Affinity Photo? Or can I get these brushes somewhere (download) in order to import them into my library? I work with the MacOS desktop version of Affinity Photo.

walt.farrell Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 In English the category name is "Painting" and the brush name is "Paint 1". The brushes were restructured and reworked in Affinity 1.8 and that category and brush were removed. You can find more information about that in the Affinity Spotlight article at https://affinityspotlight.com/article/get-legacy-affinity-brushes/, along with a download link to find the older brushes.
