dorian Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hello Forum :) Is there a way of switching OFF the smoothing on the Vector brush tool? It makes freehand drawing a little too automatic for me. I want all the imperfections of my line drawing. ;) I have the same request for the iPad version... I could not find anything in the settings either.

Staff Gabe Posted July 18, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hi Dorian, Welcome to the forums. There is no option to disable it at the moment. I've moved it to our feature requests section. Thanks, Gabe. MÅNEMANN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorian Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks for confirming this. I hope my request will be considered. I'm quite sure I'm not the only one anyway. How about making some polls to help/convince the developers? KaitosArt and MÅNEMANN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaya Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 hey so I just got the free trial for affinity designer. Super excited about the software and all it had to offer. The promise of being able to work on my big Cintiq then transfer to my iPad was also amazing. I have been banging my head on the table all day trying to figure out a way to turn off line smoothing. I've been looking online for hours and wasn't able to find anything until now. Very disappointed the line smoothing cannot be taken off. This is definitely a deal breaker. But I do want to say thank you for finding this forum, now I can stop trying to figure this out and just delete the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWA Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Please add the option to switch off smoothing! Just try to handwrite something with the brush tool and see what happens. PixelHead and synathena90@gmail.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn21 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I've figured out how to prevent the smoothing! In the top left there are three icons: the left being the affinity design logo that's labelled "design persona", then "pixel persona", and to the very right there is the "export persona". If you select "pixel persona" and draw things there, there will be no line smoothing of the sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixelHead Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hi - Once again late to the party, but I don't think I can use Affinity Designer for artwork for my games because when I go to do a vector line, of basically any shape, just drawing a leaf, the end result is actually worse than my free-hand drawing, like the stem goes all wonky, Am I doing something wrong? Thanks moi.cool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron P. Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 1 hour ago, sarituulia said: feature request for over three years. Ah come on now, I mean it's been only 3 years. That's a blip compared to how long the universe has existed. 😄 I'm not sure what number this feature drew when it got in line with all those others waiting to be implemented. I know some have been waiting since 6 or 7 years. 😧 I think they're going to start drawing retirement funds and social security. Sadly nothing yet. 😟 From the sideline, I have no, absolutely no knowledge of, and not affiliated with Serif ok... Just my opinion. I think from watching the feature requests for the last four years, Serif is holding a lot of these for the 2.0 release. From a marketing strategy, can you image how people will react?

Ron P. Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 FWIW, I started compiling a spreadsheet of all the feature requests, starting with AP. Rough estimate so far from 2018, more than 2,000. One part of this is the referenced app, if any. Just to really see/show the because it's the way PS does it.

gilsoncav Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Is it still unsolved? 😱 For me, it turns the software unusable. I feel that my lining is over smoothed without the stabilizer function activated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K A Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I'm also adding my voice to the chorus here begging for this kind of control on the brush tool. A little baffling that it doesn't exist when it's a standard feature on other apps with less-comprehensive features, especially after it's been a known issue for so long. Please add it, as it unnecessarily hinders an otherwise extremely powerful app... *Side note — a 2 minute timeout on your captcha isn't overkill...it's slaughterhouse. That's my 2¢.

deh89 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) This is keeping me from buying the app at all. If I can't control how much my lines are "corrected" it makes the app useless to me because I constantly have to redraw my lines to try and get the app to accept the texture I want. Please add a feature to adjust this. Edited July 18, 2023 by deh89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eowyn Cwper Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 As a fantasy mapmaker I also find this to be a potential dealbreaker. I'd really love the ability to turn off smoothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
