1fips Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Hi, I found a bug or a strange behavior when using the Paint Brush Tool in Pixel Persona in Affinity Designer on the Mac and on the iPad app. I found this behavior even in Affintiy Photo on the iPad so I am afraid it is a feature rather than a bug When using the Paint Brush Tool in Pixel Persona on a newly created pixel layer and there are no other pixel layers visible a strange behavior is showing: The first stroke is not showing until I stop drawing and hover over the areas that I have drawn on. With every stroke that I draw outside of the previously touched areas the drawing shows missing artifacts and I have to hover over or zoom a bit to make the drawn visible. A work-around for this behavior is to have a fully covered pixel layer under the new layer. Then the frist stroke on the new layer is shown instantly – as you like it as designer. I attach a video of that behavior and the afdesign-file. I use ADe 1.10.1 on a MacBookPro13,3 with macOS 11.6 and ADe 1.10.2 on an iPad Pro 10,5 with iOS 14.8. I like Affinity Designer a lot – it' a great app for my purposes – and I hope this bug gets to be fixed soon. Cheers!

Staff stokerg Posted October 21, 2021 Staff Share Posted October 21, 2021 Hi @1fips, Thanks for the screen recording. Does this happen with all brushes or only the ones shown in the recording? One thing to try, go into Preferences>Performance and at the bottom of window is an option for Enable Metal Compute, untick this, restart Affinity and try using those brushes again.

1fips Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Hi @stokerg, Thank you for the quick response. This happens with other (standard) brushes too … I haven't tried all And the disabling of that Metal option and the restart had no effect. BTW I have the same behavior on the iPad app and in Affinity Photo too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
