Swampy Pete Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I'm relatively new to digital painting and Affinity Photo and am probably not researching or stating the problem correctly, but here it goes. After painting a brush stroke in Affinity Photo, how do I blend or blur it. Such as when someone shadows with a pencil and they use their finger to blend or blur it and fade it out. Or when one has painted two colors with oil paints and then uses a dry brush to blend, blur or fade the colors together. Thanks Swampy Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 You can use the Blur Brush Tool, or the Smudge BrushTool.
