eejits Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Hey guys, Sorry for bombarding you with all these questions, I know you've got lots of work to do. But..... Is there any way to turn off the colour preview inside the raster brush and just leave an empty circle while you paint? I find it a little disconcerting and distracting while I'm trying to lay down shadows/highlights.

retrograde Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I was going to ask about this too. Thanks for bringing it up George. Especailly when doing subtle work...

Staff MattP Posted August 8, 2014 Staff Share Posted August 8, 2014 There's currently no way to stop the preview - but we can add a checkbox to the end of the brush tool's context toolbar that toggles the preview. Would that be enough? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eejits Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Once again Matt, that would be brilliant! Sorry to keep adding to your to-do list!

retrograde Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Sounds good to me.... So you can't "stop" the preview but you can "not show" the preview?

Staff MattP Posted August 8, 2014 Staff Share Posted August 8, 2014 The preview is just some extra work we do on mouse move - we can easily add a checkbox that just disables doing that extra work, hence you will no longer get a preview (i.e. it's not being shown - because it's not doing the preview at all) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eejits Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 But will the brush outline still be visible if you switch the preview off?

Staff MattP Posted August 8, 2014 Staff Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yes, that's actually done as a system cursor, not a preview :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrograde Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Thanks Matt, this will help in very subtle but important ways...

eejits Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hi Matt, Sorry to bother you again.... I know you're a busy loon. Is this enabled in the Beta as of yet?!? eejits 1 Quote eejits: a curious collection o' creatures - www.eejits-online.co.uk SUPPORT eejits on PATREON.

retrograde Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hi eeijits ever since last weeks beta I haven't seen a colour preview inside the circle. Although I didn't find the checkbox Matt's refers to. Maybe it just always off now?

Staff MattP Posted August 20, 2014 Staff Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yes, it's in the beta that you currently have... Go to 'Affinity Designer'->'Preferences...' and then the 'User Interface' tab. The option is 'Show preview in Brush Tools' :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
