Please add Pressure Sensitivity Control for Opacity in the Brush Settings (Affinity Photo)

[Ralph Johann]

Actually it's the setting I miss most since I'm coming from Photoshop.

It's pretty impossible to generate a pressure sensitive brush for smooth transitions that works in solid colors like blue sky oder studio paper backgrounds.

As someone who would like/is attempting to use AP2 for digital painting, this feature is a must. It blows my mind it hasn't been added, there's posts from 2017 complaining about this. I've seen a few other posts from forums for some workarounds, but its still just not the same...

Workaround (if curious)->

Set Accumulation Jitter to Pressure and 40-50%

Set Flow Jitter to Pressure and 100%

Set Luminosity Jitter to Pressure and 4-10%

 

I would also like to be able to see the text names of my brushes without having to hover my mouse to see what the brush name is. 

 

Thanks,

Hey Peter,

great idea to see the name of the brushes without hovering 👍 I agree very much.

Thanx for your workaround for the pressure sensitive brushes. I tried it, but for my work I have settings that work slightly better for me.

Feel free to try my settings, maybe you can use them as well. If you like them give me a short reply. I actually added your brush to my list.

In the settings I changed the dynamics as well. Description in the attachemants.

Cheers

I used to be able to do cool paint overs in PS (I use another program now). Manually touching up for personal works that had a unique flavor/blendy quality to them. The basic round Affinity brushes feel too "wobbly" because of the way pressure sensitivity is interpreting. I know we can use manual opacity levels, and this works OK for some situations, but it feels too restrictive for creating silky paint overs for fine detail... not saying this is impossible in AP, but that the brushes are less friendly to painterly users accustomed to smooth opacity changes.

This is now in the 2.1 beta - more details in the post below. It would be great if you wanted to try it out in the beta and let us know what you think - you can sign up to the beta program here.

I cannot believe this is missing. I cannot believe I didn’t check. This is so basic a feature. Best check the refund policy.
