Importing crayon brushes into Photo


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to get to see the four copies of Crayon Brushes that I've imported into Photo, but the arcane search responses I get don't allow me the slightest bit of inspiration.

How do I delete three copies of these so far invisible brushes and keep only one?

If you want to delete a set of brushes you can do so from the "hamburger" menu at the top right of the brushes panel.

I don't know what you mean about being "invisible", but if they are vector brushes (although you can import them) they will not show up in the APhoto brushes.

The Crayon Box brush set from Frankentoon Studio is described as being compatible with both Designer and Photo, but since it comprises 20 raster brushes and 16 vector brushes they won’t all be available for use in Affinity Photo.

I don’t know of a way to delete imported vector brushes from within Photo. I think the only way is to find the relevant *.propcol file (via Finder on Mac or Explorer on Windows) and delete it manually.

They're the Frankentoon brushes. They import fine in Designer. I can't get any of the Frankentoon Crayon brushes to show up in Photo.

I deleted vector_brushes.propcol, but of course I have no idea if that took away the 4 or not, since the Crayon Brushes don't show.

Thanks for your help.

When I re-import them into Photo, it says it takes all 40 brushes, but none show.

And to add insult to injury, Frankentoon has changed their web presence, so I might as well forget about that. If it's not one thing in the stupidity of vendors, it's another. Bye bye Frankentoon.

What is the exact message?

I'm sure there's still a way to contact them via their new site, and they'll answer questions.

Brushes imported successfully. Imported 40 vector brushes into category "Crayon Brushes".

Obvi they don't show because they're all Vector.

Frankentoon has come up with some new website sign-up the old site needed an update nonsense for a wonderful marvelous experience that I don't want. Or need. Thus I can't be bothered. So there's that. I'm not wasting any more of my time with it. I've moved on.

According to the web page, the full set includes 20 Raster brushes, 16 Vector Brushes, 5 Paper Textures, 80 Color Swatches, & a Quickstart Guide. Also on the same page is a Contact Us button that opens a window with contact info, including a email address that can be used without having to sign in or provide any personal info.

Anyway, the 20 Raster brushes should import fine into AP & appear in the Brushes panel, & of course both the vector & raster ones should import into AD, & appear in their respective personas. Regardless, there should never be a message that says  "Imported 40 vector brushes into category "Crayon Brushes", so I wonder how the OP saw that.
