Phojoegraphy Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I noticed a brush issue in 1.10 and 1.10.1 where despite the settings, the basic round brush itself is not 100% opaque at the center and there is a hard opaque ring around the edge at every hardness setting. All brush dynamics are zeroed out. No textures or sub-brushes used. Same results using Mouse or Tablet. Wet edges are zeroed out. It's negatively affecting photo retouching and drawing.

Phojoegraphy Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Looks like regardless of the brush wet edge settings, if it's checked on the menu bar, it behaves this way. Don't remember it working this way prior to 10.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Chris B Posted September 14, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 14, 2021 If Wet Edges is enabled on the context toolbar, it will override the brush settings in the Brush Editing dialog.

Old Bruce Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 As Chris B has pointed out and as your first screenshot shows, turn off the wet edges.

BelAffinity Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I had this problem too. May I know why my brushes have the out white layer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 15, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hi @BelAffinity, Welcome to Affinity Forums Can you attach a screenshot of the whole app window with the Paint Brush Tool selected (assuming that's the tool you are using) and the Layers panel visible please? What you are showing above doesn't seem related with the Wet Edges issue mentioned a couple posts above. Thanks.

When I do have this same issue come up again will attach a screenshot of it. Thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phojoegraphy Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 @MEB @Chris B I found the issue/bug that's plaguing me. Let's say for example, I use a basic round brush with no wet edge. If I then select a brush that uses wet edges and then go back to that same basic round brush, wet edges remains selected. The only way to fix this behavior that I can see is to go into the brush settings and change it to "set wet edges off" which is a pain to do if one has potentially dozens or hundreds of brushes.

In case you don't understand why that happens, it's because the Use Wet Edges setting is a ternary, not binary, setting: Set it on (Use Wet Edges) Set it off (Don't Use Wet Edges) Leave it alone With some brushes, Wet Edges will usually be wanted. With others, Wet Edges will usually not be wanted. And with some, they can work well either way, depending on the user's needs/desires. Those brushes use option 3.

I understand why it happens, hence my post above. It's just mind boggling why someone thought it was a good idea to have it work like that in the first place. In my years of using Photoshop, I never had to look to turn wet edges off on a brush that doesn't invoke it because it inherited it from a previous brush. For as slick as the UI in Affinity apps is, this behavior is baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
