trevburley Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 - Ability to import brushes using drag and drop. Can't seem to do this from the Files app - does it work with .abr files?

Staff MEB Posted September 20, 2017 Staff Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hi trevburley, You have to drag the abr file from the Files app over the Brushes Studio (over the preview area). A green plus sign near the file icon should appear while you are hovering it. trevburley 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect, works like a charm, I usually dock my files app over to the right side of the screen which meant I wasn't able to do this without moving the files app. Nice work!

i8_david Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I second this, I dropped my frankentoon brushes and it just worked. incredible easy and wonderfully convenient haha although I had problems using the microsoft one drive app implementation in files to do so (at least the brushes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevburley Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I seem to be having issues with the refine edge selection, the selection just disappears until I click a different layer (video is unlisted): Trev AP Windows, Mac, iOS --- AD Windows and Mac, iOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Just a question … is there a way to make a dedicated folder for Affinity Photo appear in the new Files app? I believe this has to do with iTunes access to Affinity Photo, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted September 21, 2017 Staff Share Posted September 21, 2017 @trevburley - This happens when you have a duplicate layer and work from the bottom one. You should be seeing a red overlay as your context settings are set to that. When you select the other layer, you are effectively leaving the Refine Selection dialog.

You should be seeing a red overlay as your context settings are set to that. When you select the other layer, you are effectively leaving the Refine Selection dialog. The problem is that I'm not seeing the red overlay in the first place. I understand that selecting a different layer will exit the refine tool, I was just trying to show that the original selection was still there.

Staff Chris B Posted September 21, 2017 Staff Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hey Trev, you would see it if you were doing the Refine Selection on the top (duplicate) layer.

Ah, I see - in this case it would mean merging all my frequency separation layers inside the top 'group' which is a bit destructive - can't it be used non-destructively? I could merge the group into a new layer, do my selection and delete the surplus merged layer I suppose.

I'm just used to keeping the original layer at the bottom and using it for my selections occasionally...
