Unable to import any brushes into Designer 2.3 as well as Beta

[Wayne Burrows]

Hello All,

I'm working on a Windows desktop and trying to get back into the swing of things after leaving this alone for a few months. For some reason, I can't get any brushes to install in Designer after trying several times. I've tried from the folder that the brushes are sitting in as well as trying to pull them in from within both Designer apps. After each attempt, both platforms tell me that they've been successfully installed but when I go to brushes, they are never there. I've closed the programs and started them up again and still, not there. (Brushes from IAMRENSI as well as some others that I have come across over the past year)

I always use the latest available beta versions when I do any work in Affinity and after I couldn't get a couple to install in Designer beta, I opened up V2.3, but still nothing.

I've tried pulling up recent discussions on this topic but haven't run across anything helpful. The only thing that I haven't tried yet is uninstalling and reinstalling. Would anyone out there happen to know what my issue is? If I left out any pertinent info, please let me know.

Thanx!

WB

Those would be raster brushes, so in Designer you would need to look in the Pixel Persona to see or use them.

When you import brushes, the message tells you what kind of brushes were imported. E.g.,

I completely forgot that he works in Photo. Right after I uploaded this post I went into Affinity to get started with a project and immediately I saw ALL of the brushes that I have been trying to install in Designer, were patiently sitting in Photo waiting for me. Lol.

#MysterySolved (it was a mystery for ME anyway) 🤣

Thanks Walt!
