Chaplain Mark Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Hello, Have been learning Affinity Photo a few weeks now, and really enjoying this software program. Have been studying the Official Affinity Photo Tutorial Videos, and came across a video entitled: Affinity Photo: Modifiers In this video, it was said that holding down the ALT and CTL (Windows) keys simultaneously will allow me to modify the size and/or hardness of the Paint Brush tool by clicking and dragging to suit. I have tried this key combination with clicking and dragging, and the result is not what is stated on the video, in that the paint brush changes to a magnifying glass thru which I can view individual pixels, whose color RGB values appear in an information bar just below the magnifying glass. Letting go of the mouse button reverts the paint brush tool to its default function. When I checked in the preferences menus regarding key modifiers, I have not been able to locate a path to change the above behavior to what is described in the Modifiers tutorial video. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance for your help.

Cedge Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Parson.... I just posted the answer in the other thread, but here goes again. Hold the ALT key + the Left and Right mouse button, while dragging the tool cursor on screen. Left or right for adjusting the size and up or down to adjust opacity. It feels a little odd at first, but quickly becomes a natural part of the general routine. IanSG 1 Quote
Chaplain Mark Posted January 31, 2018 Author Posted January 31, 2018 How Awesome...!!! Works perfectly... Thanks so much for helping me with that..!! Is this function something that has been updated then, since the tutorial video was released? Thanks again, Cedge!
