A reference image would basically show a curve from pen tool. Doesn't matter the shape or what brush, just that the brush follows pen curve. It's possible in PS.

firstdefence Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 No brush is applied to a curve in Photo, for that you would need Affinity Designer. So you can edit in Affinity Designer from Affinity Photo but once the brush stroke is back in Affinity Photo you cannot change it other than move the curve and scale the size.

Thanks for the feedback "Firstdefense". Yes Affinity Designer has this function, but brushes seems to behave differently here. Same brush exported as png from Photo and imported to Designer as Brush, seems to give a different result. It would make sense to go to Pixel persona in Designer, and use Photo brushes following a line, but that does not seem to work either. Missing anything here, or this this "how it is" so far? Hope Affinity does something to improve this in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brushes are still the same but you can re-edit at will. Thank for the feedback. Unfortunately did not work with the same brush as used in Photo, when trying in Publisher.

You cannot do it with raster brushes (the brushes used in Photo, the Photo Persona of Publisher, or the Pixel Persona of Designer). You can only do it with vector brushes, in the Designer Persona of either Designer or Publisher.
