Inpainting brush not visible

[kebojax]

I'm new to Affinity and was watching the new user tutorial and it referenced the 'inpainting brush tool'.  When I went to try it, I don't see that on the tool bar.  Is that something that has to be added manually?

It's bundled with the Healing brush / Red eye removal tool: click on the little arrow to see the other options

You can also just click & hold briefly on any of the bundled tool icons (ones with the little triangle/arrow in the corner) to pop out the other tools. Although slower, sometimes it is easier to hit the tool icon than the very small triangle.

 

Also, if you find yourself using the inpainting brush tool a lot, you can use "View > Customize Tools..." to add it separately to the tools palette, or assign it a unique keyboard shortcut.

Thanks for the quick responses!

I have found the red eye removal tool, followed instructions but it is not changing color. Help

For me it works when I open a photo, activate the red eye removal tool and just click on some red in my photo. You have to wait some seconds until the change from red to grey happens.
