CharlesG Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 Hello Crew, Kind of a beginner questions here. I have created 2 donuts in Designer but I want them to appear as brush strokes. Is there a way to apply a brush to the donut after the fact? I am hoping to cycle through the brushes to choose the one that suits the design best. Thank you! Quote
walt.farrell Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 It would help to have your .afdesign file to examine and experiment with. Lacking that, I will suggest that you look at the Stroke panel, where you can set this option in Designer (Designer Persona): Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Old Bruce Posted May 29, 2023 Posted May 29, 2023 Take a look at this. I changed the black donut to a hole radius of 100% size and slapped a stroke on it. I then used the Pressure panel to change the thickness of the stroke. The Red donut gets the same 100% but I used a brush on the stroke.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

If you want to do this with a brush from the Brushes panel, as well as setting a pressure curve, try clicking on "Properties" on the Strokes panel or popup in the context toolbar & setting a large value for Size Variance.
