John61 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 In Adobe Photoshop you can make a brush shape elliptical. Is there a way to do this in Affinity Photo. It's useful to make it shaped this way for shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Shape and Rotation are just two of the numerous settings that you can adjust.

Jens D. R. Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I had the same question. It turns out when changing a standard brush to be elliptical you need to adjust at least 2 settings. Change the shape to 50%, which will actually half the pixels, then set the rotation to 25% which will make it exactly horizontal. If you use a different shape, i.e. not exactly halved in height, you will need to set the rotation accordingly because the rotation is bound to the size factor. The 3rd setting is the distance - it needs to be set at the lowest setting or the brush will be dotted. It should have been easier.
