HappyGirl Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hi, I'm new to AD and I'm trying to paint in the Pixel persona but i get a brush circle and the actual brush size is much smaller in the center in the preview when i use my pen on the tablet ( wacom intuos art) and when i use my mouse then the brush size matches to the size of the cursor ring around it..... i hope I've explained it properly.. its so weird! Its very hard to paint when i have to guess where the center of the brush is going to land on the canvas... ive attached two photos of it since it wouldnt let me do a screen grab. This first one is with the mouse. The second is with the Pen and Tablet. DeJeanB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hmm, can't reproduce this behavior with the pen of a Wacom bamboo touch&pen when using a brush under AD (OS X), the mouse and the tablet pen behave the same here for me ... Are you using AD and your Wacom tablet under Windows or under OSX here?

HappyGirl Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 (Yes im on Windows 10 ) It must be a windows thing then... its sooo annoying. I really want to use my pen and tablet but i have to stick with the mouse for now i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Does not in Preferences (User Interface). help decide where the centre of the brush lands ? It might not help you, but I'm curious if it displays the cross in the right place. HappyGirl 1 Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

One thing you can check is, if there is probably a newer Wacom driver available for Windows and your tablet model, which then might maybe behave differently here together with AD since Wacom also updates the drivers continously (bug fixing etc.). So you might want to look and compare your tablet driver version number with the latest from their websites here.

Yes that can also lead to a different brush size behaviour here, if it is unchecked it should normally behave like the mouse, otherwise more pressure is needed to get a similar brush diameter ...

HappyGirl Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 i will try that thank you! I am super new to AD so i have no clue about most features!

Ok no problem, in order then to get an overview of several of the AD features you might also want to look over the video tutorials here ... Official Affinity Designer Video Tutorials ... though there are also a lot of tutorials on Youtube too. Another good source to look individual things after is also the AD online help here ... Affinity Designer help ... which resembles the apps help system topics.

HappyGirl Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 ok thank you very much!

If you have the version from the Affinity Store, it should install without problems on Windows 7 SP1. If it's the one from the Microsoft Store, you need Windows 10.

Wikinger Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Il y a 9 minutes, R CR a déclaré: Bon à savoir! Alors, peut-être que quelqu'un peut répondre à cette question: quelle est la vitesse de l'air d'une hirondelle à vide? Good evening. The flying speed of a swallow is 60 km/h, but when hunting, it can reach 100 km/h. Alfred and DeJeanB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is that true for both African swallows & European swallows? Besides, according to this well researched & documented source, the average airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 24 miles an hour, or about 39 kph.

v_kyr Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Guys I have no clues about swallows so would have to read what National Geographics or some other sources who might know about that matter tells here about those, so all I can tell you instead is how to program in Swift ...!

Quote I bought AD from the Affinity website. I have Windows 10....did i get the wrong version? I also have Windows 7 on another computer.. Tell me what to dooooo Ok back to main the topic, NO that Windows version from the Affinity website should be usually more stress free and better suited. You may need to have only the right needed .Net C++ runtime libs installed on Win 7 here, but AFAI recall when I tried AD on Win, it already comes with those or at least indicates and also installs those needed libs here during the installation process. - So tell us what problems you encountered here on Win 7 with AD, what does happen or is indicated at all?

HappyGirl Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 hey thanks, I actually find it works ok on Windows 7 but its my laptop that runs windows 10 that it takes forever to load and do anything in it oh and i dont mind a bit of joking around haha... there WAS an open call for any question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Well any context related questions! Don't know how your laptop is equipped, meaning if it has enough RAM, a speedy CPU etc., or if you run a bunch of processes (apps/services) together. Another thing which slows AD/AP startup down is having a lot of installed fonts here ... and so on.

HappyGirl Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 i just worked on one project and it has no text at all on it. Do I have to shut down all other applications when i work on AD? i have 16GB Ram on my Inspiron 7737 laptop. really not sure if i just have a lemon of a computer LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Nah that Dell Inspiron model should be then well equipped, also having 16GB of RAM is pretty fine and enough (I assume you have a model with NVidia GPU). - How do other Win apps behave here in contrast (?), you can also check and see from the Win task manager if it is maybe only AD here which eats lots of resources.
