jimalbro Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I purchased the AD package and downloaded the freebies. I just last night tried to import the DAUB brushes, but when attempting to add them, after one import, was not successful in importing others. If I am doing something wrong, please advise.

Staff MEB Posted November 29, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi jimalbro Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You probably installed them correctly but can't find them in the program.The DAUB Inkers can be accessed thought the Brushes panel in Draw Persona (click the dropdown on the top and scroll to the bottom of the list). The remaining four can be accessed through the Brushes panel in Pixel Persona. Can you check if you have them there please? To change to Pixel Persona go to menu File ▸ Personas ▸ Pixel or click the second icon on the top right, below the menus.

jimalbro Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thank you, I feel like a pure dummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 No need to feel like a dummy! There are several threads about this, so it's obviously a common problem. (I got caught out by this too, but the other way around, because I happened to be in the Pixel Persona when I imported those DAUB brushes: I wondered why the Inkers were missing.)

Staff MEB Posted November 29, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi jimalbro, Affinity Designer has two different brush engines: one vector based (currently less developed) that's used in Draw Persona and another raster based used in Pixel Persona and in Affinity Photo (our RAW conversion/developer and photo editing app). Most new users aren't aware of this so it's natural they think something went wrong. We all have to start somewhere, no need to feel dummy as Alfred said :) Glad to know it's all sorted out.

Alfred Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Perhaps the message text could be expanded to specify the type of brushes that have been successfully imported. :) Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.3.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Perhaps the message text could be expanded to specify the type of brushes that have been successfully imported. :) On a revisit, I see that it does actually tell you the brush type, but you have to be alert to notice it! It would be more obvious if the message indicated which persona you need to be in before you can use those brushes.
