Luckyzdaddy Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I've been an Adobe user for decades and am now sans Adobe and learning both Affinity Photo and Designer. I have 120 personal brushes that I create with and would like to cycle between them while working. Is there a key combination with which to move backwards and forwards in the brushes panel?

firstdefence Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 As far as I am aware there is no way to cycle through the brushes using keyboard strokes, selection is by mouse or stylus only.

Amanda McDermott Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Hi, along these lines, is there a shortcut for making the brush/eraser size larger or smaller (e.g. Adobe uses Ctrl+mouse wheel)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's "Ctrl+[" and "Ctrl+]" (without quotationmarks), like in many other apps. I customized it for me to "Ctrl+." and "Ctrl+," because this were the shortkeys for it as I learned Photoshop long time ago. Edit: Sorry, made a mistake. You don't need the Ctrl-key. Only "[" and "]" or in my case "." and ",". My customized settings are much more friendly for my tiny little hands. 😀 My personal tip for this "cycling through brushes"-problem. I created special brush categories for brushes I use for certain works. And I numbered them to have them on top of the brushes menu. My basic brushes are in category "0 - Basic Brushes".

Amanda McDermott Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Thanks all, that's going to be very useful! The video won't play for me, by the way, but I've had a quick play and [ ] works a treat. Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
