CH Trippe Posted November 30, 2024 Posted November 30, 2024 In the past, I have been able to create an image brush from a png and have the brush retain the color and detail of the original. Today, in attempting to create an image brush from a png --- after having installed Affinity Photo 2.5.6 --- I discovered that the brush image only appears in black and white, as a silhouette, and although I can chose a color, the brush is still only a silhouette, not a replica of the original image. Is there a way to make an image brush in the " old " way ? Or am I overlooking something ? Thanks !
