cmm09c Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I am familiar with adobe photoshop and used the same keys ("shift" "option") for using the clone brush, dodge brush burn brush, and Inpainting tool in the Affinity Beta. I tried adjusting the opacity, flow, and hardness to a wide range of levels, but nothing is being cloned, or changes at all. Same with when I tried using the Inpainting brush tool, the dodge and burn brushes. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please help.

ursel Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Just had the same issue. I just deleted the image and re-opened it - all seems to be working now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billtils Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Welcome to the Affinity Photo forums @cmm09c and ursel! I'm not familiar with PS but have been using the AP beta for a while without any problems in these areas (apart from once when I was stupid enough to try them without making sure that the correct layer was selected :wacko: ). There is another thread the gist of which is "AP is not Photoshop", and it's not meant to be. It's its own beast and does what it says - gives you a powerful toolkit to edit images. Please give it a good try out for what it can do, rather than how it does it, and share your experiences with us - remember it's in beta and that's what this forum is about. Happy editing!

ronniemcbride Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 You bring up a good point about AP not being photoshop. It made me think when photoshop came out it wasn't"photoshop". Photoshop came to be what it is today because of the way it was being used by the consumer. It was not meant to be what it has come to be. You set out to do one thing and find out interesting things about how people use your product in a way you had not envisioned. We are already defining what AP and AD is. The intention is the goal, but the magic happens when something exceeds expectations and evolves beyond the vision. LilleG 1 Quote LEARN AFFINITY DESIGNER TODAY.

cmm09c Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Thank you for the response! I understand the AP is not photoshop. I watched the AP user tutorials for these elements (and love all that this program offers/can do!) and they were just simply not working.. the brushes would not make any changes. I tried on every layer and tried again after condensing the layers. Still no effect. I'll save what I have on the image so far and try re-opening it. I appreciate your help direction!

cmm09c Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 I downloaded the newest version, closed out the photo I was working on, reopened/restarted the program, and it's still not working. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmm09c Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Opened a different photo and the brush worked! ...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 As billtils said, are you sure you worked on the appropriate layer? I made this little mistake at the beginning as well and wondered why nothing happened … :rolleyes: Choose_Layer.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
