Natgamb Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Hi, I'm using Affinity designer. The erase tool is barely working, just smudging. I have opacity, flow, and hardness set to 100. I'm a beginner, so apologies if I'm missing something obvious. Screenshot is included. Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Even though you show the Basic brushes collection, your brush may not be one of them, it may be a brush (from some other collection) with less than 100% opacity. I have been, and will be, bitten by this several times.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
