Rotate brush head / Plug-ins

[Detaman83]

Hey Guys!

 

Im just getting into Affinity Photo and editing in general and have a couple of questions:

 

1- is there a quick way to rotate a brush head in Affinity photo? - I know you can dbl click the brush type and drag the rotation slider but wondered if there is a short cut?

 

2- Does anyone know if the Social Kit Pro plug-in works with Affinity photo?

 

Many thanks!

Hi Detaman83,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

1- No, there's no shortcut to rotate the brush head in Photo.

2- No, it doesn't work in Affinity Photo as it relies on Photoshop panels to expose its functionality (which we don't support).

Thanks for your speedy reply!

 

do you think a bush head rotation shortcut might be possible to implement?

 

many thanks!

Not sure if we are talking about the same thing but with the set up I have I use the arrow keys to rotate the brush head. Works before and during painting strokes.

Hi Old Bruce,
That post/reply is from 2017. There was quite/changes improvements since then. In the current version you can indeed rotate the brush with the arrow keys.

Hello, here is a question from the present 😄

it's great that rotation is possible via arrow keys. Unfortunately it doesn't work with my composite brush. It's a brush I bought and it has a basic shape as well as a texture, both are masked together. If I use the arrow keys only the background mask of my brush rotates but the basic texture that shapes the brush remains the same. Is there a trick as how I could rotate the whole brush altogether?

I also rotated the document view but the brush position remains the same. Is there a possibility to rotate the view together with the brush so they are always linked?

 

Thank you in advance!
