Valist Codery Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 In Affinity Photo using brush tool to draw a stright line is inconvenient because if you left mouse clicked it will not draw the dot on the document not until you hold off pressing the Left Mouse Button, and that makes drawing a stright line harder, because you have to move the cursor one pixel at least then the dot will be drawn and now we can press shift to make it into a stright line. And if you hold shift first and then left mouse clicked or if you left mouse clicked then hold shift without moving 1 pixel it will draw a connection from your last mouse position. In Photoshop you only have to hold left mouse and it will draw the dot immediately and that makes it easier to draw in a Stright line. ------------- Tested on Windows 10 Affinity version 1.10.1.1142 Using a normal mouse Chris B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted September 24, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 24, 2021 Hey Jameel Hakimi, I think the reason for this is so that when you are painting, the initial brush placement is clear so you can accurately place the ink where you want it to go. I'll double check this and pass your feedback on as you are not the first person to raise this.

Eigil Skovgaard Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 The answer above was posted more than one year ago, and the weird behavior of the masking brush in overlays in Development still exists per January 2023. Is there any way to send a bug report directly to the development department to speed the correctional process up? The behavior of the brush in Photoshop is more or less the commonly accepted standard, as it has proved to be easy to work with. This is a major error (imo) as it for all practical purposes prevents precise straight lines to be drawn from the last point to the current, i.e. keeps people using the comfortable solution in Photoshop. Bad strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
