artislife Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hi, how can I disable any any all guides for brush, pencil, etc? There is either a circle to show the size or the crosshair. I do not want any guide whatsoever. Is there a way to disable this? It is very distracting and annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted April 26, 2021 Staff Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hi @artislife, Welcome to the Affinity forums In the Preferences for the Affinity app it's possible to disable the live brush preview, or enable a constant crosshair - however it's unfortunately not possible to disable these altogether, my apologies. Therefore I'll move this thread to the Feedback section of our forums, for our devs to see and consider. I hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artislife Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) Hi Dan, Neither of the options are working. It seemed to work to change the circle around the brush to a crosshair in the past, but now I cannot even enact the crosshair. Any suggestions? I certainly hope you guys will resolve this in the next update. I have seen many others complain of this too. It is nearly impossible to paint and draw with the distracting circle or crosshair. Thank you Edited April 26, 2021 by artislife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Edit > Preferences > Tools there are 2 options, Show Brush Previews and Always Show Brush Crosshair. The below video shows how these options are designed to work; 2021-04-27 16-03-13.mp4 With Show Brush Previews selected you will see a 'live preview' of your brush stroke, before it's added to the canvas, with this disabled you will no longer see the 'live preview', simply the shape of the brush nozzle is shown - in my case for a round brush. With Always Show Brush Crosshair enabled, the brush tool will show a crosshair in the centre of the brush, which will not change regardless of the brush nozzle used. This crosshair may not show if the brush size comparative to the zoom level is not large enough to fit both the nozzle preview and the crosshair, in this case the crosshair is hidden until the brush is made larger or you zoom in further. 20 hours ago, artislife said: I certainly hope you guys will resolve this in the next update.

I'm certainly sorry to hear you feel this way, this is marked as an 'improvement' option for the Affinity app and is something our devs may look to add in the future. I hope this clears things up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
