RedSnapper Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 CTL+ALT does not change brush opacity or hardness in Windows 10 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 That's correct it doesn't. However holding down CTL + ALT + Left AND Right mouse buttons, then dragging Left or right will change the Brush Size, dragging up/down changes the Hardness. It seems a little awkward when you first try. Keep using it and it's really not bad. Affinity Photo 2.4..; Affinity Designer 2.4..; Affinity Publisher 2.4..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

Staff MEB Posted February 22, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hi RedSnapper, Welcome to Affinity Forums Press and hold ALT and click and hold both the left and right mouse buttons - drag a little and you should see the double-circle on canvas to adjust the width and hardness (not the opacity) of the brush (you can release the right mouse button at this point if you want, but not the left one). Drag horizontally to set the width and vertically to set the hardness. To adjust the opacity of the brush use the number keys on your keyboard (from 1 up to 0): 1 set the opacity to 10%, 0 (zero) sets it to 100%. If you press two numbers consecutively - for example 2 and 3 - the opacity will be set to 23%.

RedSnapper Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thank you for the update. I have realised my mistake. I was trying to get it to work with the selection brush where width and hardness make no sense. I tried it on another brush and it works perfectly. Thanks for your help.
