AmpedAndy Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 It seems no matter what I do to manipulate a brush shape with the pen tool, the line created comes out the same with either square or rounded ends according to the cap I choose. I want to make calligraphy like lines with tapered ends, as the brush shows it would in the brush selector, but I can't figure out how to make that happen. Suggestions?

Madame Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Let's start with this tutorial from Affinity, and see where we go from there. Hi, I've been meaning to ask this for some time... This way to share videos makes them almost impossible to view. They are very small and they don't open in full screen. I have to "open" the post by pressing "Quote" and copy the link. Then I have to paste the link in my browser. Is there any other way to do this, -so the videos can play full screen, or so they are embedded and when you click on them, you are taken to Vimeo? Just a humble wish. ;) (It's the same both in Safari and Chrome) Quote - Affinity Photo 2.3.0 - Affinity Designer 2.3.0 -Affinity Publisher 2.3.0 MacBook Pro 16 GB MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Madame, it took me a while to figure this out but in Safari you can right-click on the video & select "Open Frame in new tab" (or in new window). I haven't checked with Chrome but it probably has a similar option.

R C-R Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I just checked with Chrome & as Madame said, there doesn't seem to be an equivalent for Safari's open frame options: But at least it works in Safari.

AmpedAndy Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 What I learned from that video is how to say bezier... beyond that, it didn't come close to answering my question. What I'm asking is the shape of the brush, be that pen or vector brush what have you. In brush properties, it shows a nice line with a tapered end to it. What gets drawn is either a round end, or a square end, nothing else. I can manipulate the pressure, velocity, curve, everything else, to no effect on the actual line that gets drawn. Anyone have an answer to that? Quote iMac 21.5" Mid 2011 2.5 GHz i5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 If you click on the pressure tab, (in the "stroke window") you can add nodes, and alter the lines to your liking.

Alfred Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Madame, it took me a while to figure this out but in Safari you can right-click on the video & select "Open Frame in new tab" (or in new window). I haven't checked with Chrome but it probably has a similar option. Yes, I managed that in Safari, thanks for the tips! -But not in Chrome (which I prefer). I don't have Chrome here, but in a Chromium browser such as Vivaldi I can right-click on the video and choose 'View frame source'. That opens a new browser tab where I see view-source:https://player.vimeo.com/video/107567054 in the address bar, and a clickable link to near the top of the source code. Clicking the link takes me to the Vimeo page for the specified video, and removing the 'view-source:' from the address bar gives me an embedded player (filling the browser window).

AmpedAndy Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 I've tried that Madame, but it doesn't change the shape. Quote iMac 21.5" Mid 2011 2.5 GHz i5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmpedAndy Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 That works in pen mode, but I can't seem to get it to work in vector brush, or paint brush mode. Quote iMac 21.5" Mid 2011 2.5 GHz i5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Hi AmpedAndy, Madame is right, but in order to see an effect by changing the pressure profile in Pencil or Vector Brush mode, you will have to do two different things: Make the brush sensitive to pressure changes. This is done on the brush settings panel by adjusting size variance parameter (A.). Adjust the pressure profile, as described by Madame, either on the context toolbar or on the stroke panel (B.). Hope that helps … :) Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
