DAUB brushes don't work anymore

[Karina]

Hi, 

My DAUB brushes don't work anymore. Any tips? It is a problem, as I made some artwork with DAUB pastello brushes, and have to make it a bit bigger to add some bleed. They did work before, and my Kyle brushes still work too. I tried importing them again, but they still don't work. Some other brushes don't work anymore too. 

Thanks in advance, 

Karina

Hi, Karina,

Do the brushes work w. new files? There have been posts that indicate specific files are corrupt. There have also been posts recommending the app be reset to defaults, and then reload 3rd party items, etc.

Hope you get up and running soon.

Thanks a lot for your reply, I didn't know corrupt files were an option too. In the meantime I tried everything, including deleting and re-installing the brushes several times and changing all the settings in Affinity and in my Drawing tablet app. But in the end it turns out that my Huion drawing pen needed to recharge  I feel a bit silly now, but I only have to do this twice a year, so I easily forget... The pen still worked with half of my brushes, but not all. It needed to charge for a while, and now magically things work again. Glad it was my pen!

Why not charge it three or four times a year? If you do it (say) at the end of every quarter it will be easy to remember, and as a bonus it shouldn’t take as long because you’re doing it more frequently.

Good idea, I will get a system in place so I won't forget anymore....
