Hi  olcalzavara

 

We are already aware of the crash with the control points in the Nik plugins. For the brush shortcut this seems to be working fine for me, when you say is not working what is happening for you when you use the shortcut?

Is working here. Just to be sure is not a misunderstanding of the procedure, this is the order I do it (as could be some step not being done) :

 

-click alt and keep it pressed.

-while having that key hold, click right mouse button and keep pressed.

-Now click left mouse button, and keep it pressed, and with the 3 things together pressing, drag the mouse, horizontally or vertically. Horizontally changes the size, vertically the smoothness of the brush.

 

In a similar way: If you are using a tablet pen, in your wacom or other brand's pen, go to your tablet settings (if allowed, configure it only for Affinity Photo), and in the pen tab, set right mouse button to a side pen button, if it has one. This way, you will need to do a similar operation, just pressing and keeping pressed alt key, keeping the pen side button pressed, and "drawing" (as is your left mouse button now, the tip) , which wont draw as you have the other controls pressed, will do the size or smoothness change, you will check it visually seeing two circles being modified.

 

Not every one is able to easily press 3 things at a time comfortably and introduce that in a workflow, so you can resort to use a free utility like in the tutorial I explain, down below in my signature. (this way only one of the side buttons of the pen is all you need (and of course dragging the pen)). Mainly you skip Alt key here. Then pen alone changes size and smoothness.

 

Any of the 3 ways work in my end, I am a Windows 7 user using Wacom intuos pro.

I am also having the same issue here,  Alt + right mouse button does not change the size.  Are there any plan to add a feature to be able to make combinations like alt+mouse buttons for creating custom interactions?
