Brushes that react to pressure

[Dell-boy]

Hello,

 

I'm hoping someone can help. As a longtime user of Xara even on my Mac, I find this progam is already my favourite! But I have one major problem:

Whatever I do I cannot get the brushes to be pressure sensitive on either of my Wacom graphics tablets. I can only get lines of uniform width and as I do quite a bit of sketching this is really important to me. Surely you should be able to pick a brush that is labelled "with pressure" and use it straight away?

Is there something I'm missing? I can't find anything that explains how to make this work. Can someone please point me toward a simple step by step that shows how to do this.

 

Thanks.

Hi Dell-boy,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

I'm assuming you're referring to Affinity Designer.

If so with the Brush Tool selected go to the context toolbar (right above the works area) and change the Controller to Pressure.

Thank you so much! How simple it is when you know!

Much appreciated!
