firstdefence Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Select the eraser and then select a brush and erase away what you are effectively doing is creating a mask, so its a nondestructive process and you can turn the mask layer off.

This only works in Affinity Designer. The brush in Affinity Photo is destructive If you're using photo you can create a mask and paint with black/white/gray.

Thygo Posted September 16, 2018 Author Posted September 16, 2018 Hi Thanks for the replies! Is there a shortcut for the brush size? I thought it was [ ] to adjust the size, but that isn't working. ps: Is there an app? What is the name? Quote
Staff Gabe Posted September 17, 2018 Staff Posted September 17, 2018 @>|< , my bad. Sorry. You're right! @Thygo you can check/change the brush size shortcuts in Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts 20 hours ago, Thygo said: ps: Is there an app? What is the name? An App for what? Quote
