ArtByBeckett Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hi, I am new to Affinity Photo but have used Photoshop for a few years. Is there some way of stroking or rendering a curve? regards Beckett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted May 20, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi ArtByBeckett and Welcome to the Forums, From my understanding, this isn't possible in Affinity Photo. You have the basic stroke options on the toolbar along the top, if you select a curve you can then increase the size of the stroke that goes around the curve. Affinity Designer would let you apply a brush stroke to a curve, which may be more fitting to what you want to do. You can get a 10 day trial of Designer from here: https://affinity.serif.com/designer/trial If i've misunderstood the question, please do correct me and i'll be happy to help further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtByBeckett Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Thank you for your help. Maybe I need Affinity Designer. I am trying to trace over photographs and then transform these into caricatures. In photoshop I could do this with the path tool which would create a path around the drawing. I could then stroke that path as a pen or brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdenby Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Its been some years since I used software that stroked a path. Designer allows bit map brushes to follow vectors. The brushes do need to be carefully made to get a good seamless line. Most available brushes are meant to mimic a gestural stroke, and so have ragged ends, like a paint brush might make.
