Pressure Sensitivity not working (Ipad Pro 2020)

[John81]

Hi,

My pressure sensitivity and wet edges functions are not working in Affinity Photo. I’m using an IPad Pro 2020. 
 

Anyone know how I can solve this problem? (See print screen)

 

kind regards,

 

John

In your sample image, wet edges is turned off.🙂

Hi Julia04
 

I’ve changed my brush settings but it didn’t help. See screenshot below…

Hi DM1, 

 

Here is a print screen with the wed edges on/activated.

To see the effect of wet edges you need to overlap the brush strokes.

In the desktop-version of Affinity Photo, there is a button in the context bar you can activate the pressure sensitivity with. Is it possibly the brush symbol in the bar on the right side of your screenshot? Below the white circle?

Think I was mistaken. Have you tried to set the Shape in the Dynamics window (your first screenshot) to "Pressure" and to 100%?

@John81  it’s strange.  Do you use Apple Pencil?

Try with larger brush setting, say around 150px. Might be easier to see the effect, especially pressure.

Hi Walt.Farrell,

 

I think the wet edges function is working fine. Here is a screenshot

Hi Julia04,

 I’m using a “Trendfield Stylus” pencil. This pencil is cheaper than an original IPad pencil.

Hi Iconoclast,

 

yes I’ve set the pressure in dynamics to 100% and the pressure sensitivity was on.

I'm not an iPad-user, so I misunderstood what I saw on your screenshots. Sorry for that. I think the settings are okay (but on your last screenshot "Force Pressure" doesn't seem to be activated). I assume that the problem depends on the stylus or its connection to Affinity. Do you have other apps to approve the pressure sensitivity of your stylus (something like Krita; GIMP or even Affinity Designer f.e.) and do they work correctly?

I don’t think any styli other than either generation of the Apple Pencil are pressure sensitive. Even the Apple-approved Logitech Crayon only has tilt sensitivity, not pressure sensitivity.

All drawing apps on iPad work normally only with Apple Pencil

Hi Iconoclast, Alfred and Julia04, 

I’ve just ordered an IPad Pencil 2nd generation. I expect to receive it next week. 
 

I think/hope that will solve the problem! 
 

I will place an update on this forum coming week to let you know! Thanks for your help and information! 
 

Have a nice weekend! 👍👋

Hi Iconoclast, Alfred and Julia04, 
 

I’ve just received my Apple Pencil 2nd gen. Now my pressure sensitivity is working well!  The problem finally is solved!

@John81 congratulations!
