debraspicher Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I've mentioned this on other threads before, but I'm starting this one so maybe I can turn it into a megathread... I'm having issues with painting in Affinity. The brush engine shows so much potential and would be more than glad to switch to this when it's more stable. But right now, for steady painting work and for blending... well... it's not quite there yet. This is how my lines look in Affinity Photo Beta (1.6.3.98) How are others doing with being able to paint in this program? I got the DAUB brush set which I am in love with... just a shame I can't use it for blending yet as the line quality in this program is a little unpredictable. It's particularly obvious with smaller brushes like 1-3px. (i.e. detail brushes) brushies.tiff affinity-photoshop-brush.afphoto Ken Cope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Quail Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Do you have the stabilizer turned on or off? I find I getting far better results in Window mode.

Ken Cope Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Yes, it's also a problem in AD's Pixel Persona. The brush engine really does need more work to make it usable - too many straightened lines in its output. This is where Adobe shines by comparison . debraspicher and Dave Quail 2 Windows 11 Pro 64bit ¤ AMD Threadripper 3990x ¤ Nvidia RTX 3090 ¤ 256GB DDR4 Ram ¤ ROG Zenith II Extreme Alpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manofjesus Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Debraspicher, you draw your example with stylus or how it was created? You use stock brushes? What brush setting was used then?

Staff Sean P Posted January 16, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hey guys, @MattP has recently made some changes to fix this issue that should soon trickle their way into the Windows build, so hopefully you should see this resolved soon!

Manofjesus Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Thank you Sean P for good news. I also test this issue - it is look like depending from speed. When i make rapid, fast movements with brush - i see it. When drawing with relax - no issues.
