Jack V. Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) I've recently started working on my digital painting techniques and I just imported a number of brushes from a LARGE collection (over 350) I had purchased a while back. The problem is that all 350+ are in the same ABR file so they all import into the same organizing folder and I'd like to organize them by the media type they are meant to simulate (Charcoal, Ink, Oil Impasto, etc). Is there a way to select several brushes at once and move them into a different folder or am I stuck with moving them one at a time? Thanks in advance for the feedback. Loving Affinity so far. P.S. On a related note, is there a way to set a brush's opacity to be the pressure sensitive factor rather than the size?

Unfortunately not, right-clicking on each brush and using the 'Move to Category' operation is the only way of doing this in Affinity currently. 1 hour ago, Jack V. said: On a related note, is there a way to set a brush's opacity to be the pressure sensitive factor rather than the size? There is! Please see the following post: I hope this helps Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Wosven Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hi, You can also add/use text images (or dots or 1 px brush… something you'll reconize easily) as delimiters in a brush category (too many categories can be a mess too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack V. Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Thanks for the input Dan C and Wosven, it was helpful. The brushes I'm using were intended to be used as tool presets (with ALL of the tool adjustments included) rather than just rubber stamp brush shapes so they take some tweaking to get their intended effect.
