Default Brushes Entirely Different Between Designer v1 and v2


Recommended Posts

I've been working on a children's book from before the release of the v2 products. I've gone back to work on them some more with the v2 Designer and the brushes I use that come stock with the app are completely different between the two versions. Why is this? And how do I import the original version of them into the v2 Designer? I've attached what each of them look like between the two versions.

These are from pre-1.8 it seems like but might be helpful for your use-case. It is from the official blog... I know I had seen it someplace.

It does seem like the Oils brush category in Designer 2 (Pixel Persona) is very different from what we had in 1.10. I haven't looked at the other categories, but in some ways it makes sense that they brushes would be different, as (based on the Affinity Store Tech Specs) I think there has been some major rework in their design.

If it's still relevant to @NaterXander, here are the Oils from 1.10. I have not tried them enough in 2.0 to know how they'll work, and whether they'll match the behavior from 1.10:

You should be able to import these into Designer using the panel options (3-bar icon, aka burger menu) in the Brushes panel in the Designer Pixel Persona. Or perhaps by right-clicking in File Explorer or Finder and choosing to "Open With" Designer 2.
