Aeridis Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'm fairly new to Affinity Photo (I've been playing with it for little over a week) and I gotta say, it is probably the best impulse buy I ever made on the AppStore and I expect to be using this app for a long time. I came in from Procreate, so I wanted to recreate my favorite brushes. I saved the brush shape and texture and created a new brush in Affinity with them. I test the brush out and I noticed that the color of the brush is not affected by the color I choose in the color picker but instead it's always the color of the brush image I use. Is there a setting I'm missing that will make image brushes be affected by the color picker, or is the image brush meant to be like a stamp and can't be affected by color? If it's the latter, how do I make a brush similar to the ones in the "Painting" category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeridis Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Is there really no one that can help me with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Aeridis. :) I don't have an iPad, so I can't help you with the specifics of doing this on the iPad version of the app, but on the (Windows) desktop version when I click on the Brushes panel 'hamburger' menu icon I'm offered a choice of various brush types. An 'Image' brush behaves as you describe, keeping its own colour/s, but an 'Intensity' brush uses the greyscale values of the image as an opacity map, with the base colour being selected by the user.

Aeridis Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 I hadn't noticed the Intesity Brush before. I just tried it out and it's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much! Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
