Shortcuts to coverage, flow and hardness


Recommended Posts

Hi GjonTravolta,

Welcome to the forums :)

There is no way to set custom shortcuts for this I'm afraid. The only shortcut for setting hardness is the one described here.

 

Thanks

Hi @GjonTravolta,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Press and hold CTRL+ALT then drag the mouse horizontally to change the size and vertically to change the hardness.
To change the flow press and hold CTRL and press a number in your keyboard: for example 4 will set the flow to 40%; pressing 4 twice successively will set it to 44%. Pressing 0 (zero) sets it to 100%.

Not sure what you mean by coverage. Brushes support Opacity, Flow, Hardness, and Accumulation as far as I know. And there doesn't seem to be any simple way to change accumulation, if that's what you mean.

The modifiers are explained in the Help (for Photo, at least) in the section Painting Brush Strokes: https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/pages/Painting/painting.html
