Ken_A Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I'm following an exercise regarding affinity masks in Robin Walley's Essential Affinity Photo book. However, when I select the paint brush to either paint white or black I get a red line from the brush circle to a cross. When I drag the brush the effect is occurring at the cross at the end of the line and not at the brush circle. How do I get rid of this line and cross so that I just have the brush circle? Have I not selected something correctly in the top Access tool bar? I'm using W10 PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 It sounds like you have the Stabilizer option checked in the context toolbar. Remove the checkmark to get rid of the red line & x. See also the Settings section in the https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/pages/Tools/tools_paintBrush.html help topic for more about the stabilizer & other context toolbar options.

Ken_A Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 R C-R, you were certainly right about the Stabilizer option checked. Removing this has completely solved the problem. Many thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
