BugsJane Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Where might I find a pencil or brush tool in Affinity Publisher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Perhaps there will be one once the Designer and Photo Personas are enabled "... later in the Publisher Beta." Nothing now. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugsJane Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 I saw a pencil in one of the tutorial videos and wondered. Under "Stroke" one can vary line size, etc., but no way to get a line except make a very narrow rectangle or around shapes. My old desktop publishing program had texture to apply to lines with a line tool and a pencil. I hope those can be integrated into Publisher. oscarlosan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a pencil tool when the first betas came out but it was removed because Serif decided that it should not be a feature of Publisher. 3 hours ago, BugsJane said: no way to get a line If you just want a straight line, you can do that with the pen tool. In the normal mode, just click once on each end point then press escape to avoid creating additional line segments. Alternatively, switch to line mode using the button on the context toolbar. 3 hours ago, BugsJane said: texture to apply to lines with a line tool and a pencil Photo can do this on a pixel (raster) layer using the paintbrush tool, and Designer has a collection of brushes that can be applied to vector shapes (including lines). Unknown outside of Serif at this time if either of these capabilities will be available in the other personas within Publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
