Can't find imported brushes


Recommended Posts

Hi HXY,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

I believe you're using Affinity Designer. If that's the case, click on the second icon on the top left of the interface right below the traffic lights to change to Pixel Persona, then go to the Brushes tab on the right and click the dropdown. The imported brushes should appear listed on the bottom.

 Thanks, I've just had the same problem and this solved it for me :D. This seems really interesting to me, do you know why certain brushes only work in certain personas?

Hi Marcusss,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Affinity Designer has two brush engines: one is vector based (relies on vectors paths for the brush strokes which can then be edited if needed) and is used in Draw Persona. The other is a raster based engine and is used in Pixel Persona and in Affinity Photo (our RAW converter/developer and photo editing app). This one doesn't rely on any vector paths. It's a more conventional raster painting engine.

Each engine and their respective brushes settings/attributes is different and so the brushes only work with the engine they were created for.

Oh, I see. Thank you for helping! I am still a bit new to this software :)
