Affinity Designer - brush instaling problem


Recommended Posts

Which brushes? Are you having problems installing, or finding them after you install?

When you installed them, did it say they were Raster brushes or Vector brushes? If they're raster, you'll only find them in the Pixel persona.

The problem is that after I try to install them it shows that they are installed, but they are not in the list, no difference vector or raster

The message does say raster brushes but it is really easy to miss that. Personally, I think it also should say the brushes are available in the Pixel Persona, or at least show the icon for the Pixel Persona instead of the one for the Designer Persona. (It is not the AD app icon, which has rounded corners.)

Affinity Personas have separate interfaces & separate UI presets. That should mean if a user action gets done which affects the other, currently invisible interface, then such a "switch" should occur more obvious, maybe + a button "Show Category". In particular since the user can't create, edit, choose, show a brush of the not-current persona without switching to its UI. Also that both personas may contain categories with identical names, e.g. "Acrylics" for both personas may support a user confusion.
