Weird line formation when using brush tools


Recommended Posts

Hello all! I have had this problem for some time and have no idea what is causing this issue or how to resolve it. Every time I click and drag using a brush, it'll either select somewhere else or form a line in a different direction. It's difficult to explain so I have attached a video to show. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Which version of Affinity Photo are you using, the reason I ask is because this behaviour used to be seen in V1.x.x and from your icons I assume V1 is what you're are using.

It looks like you are using the overlay erase tool and are you holding down any Control keys to aid drawing lines line?

Can you explain what result do you want to achieve? E.g. brightening sky. And then how do you want it to achieve, e.g. masking the sky by using brush to paint in mask, then use exposure slider in basic panel.

You are working in Develop Persona, and it might be easier to accomplish this in Photo persona - depending on what you want to achieve.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.

Are you using a pen/tablet or just a mouse?

Any reason why you're not running AP version 1.10.6.1665 ?
