Koniotaur Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Short things short, I imported abr brushes from photoshop to affinity photo, some of them work all right, some of them have some weird lines and look really unlike they originally do, and some of them are a real mess. For now I'm posting only 1 example with weird lines and brush looking quite different, later on I'll update the post with ones where it's really messed up. Here's a comparison between AP (Affinity Photo) and PS(Photoshop). Abr brush pack is obtainable from here:Deviant art brushes In both scenarios used brush is as 5. As shown in image above.

Koniotaur Posted June 16, 2019 Author Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) BUMP Like I said, I've chosen some random brushes from that pack and made a comparison. Most of Affinity Photo brushes look garbage, they seem to always have same opacity (looks like variety ain't a thing). With chains for example the distance between each chain is completely messed up and I'd say none of these are usable for real. Also note, AP and PS (red text) were made using the same brush with some chinese name that I can not repeat or type. Edited June 16, 2019 by Koniotaur Quote
Staff Chris B Posted June 17, 2019 Staff Posted June 17, 2019 Hey Koniotaur, welcome to the Affinity Forums. Do you know who made the brushes and would it be possible for you to upload one of these brush packs to this private Dropbox folder so the developers can investigate?

Koniotaur Posted June 17, 2019 Author Posted June 17, 2019 All of brushes I've shown come from 1 pack - Brush Pack v3 by Fenris31 on deviantart - link to it is in first post. Also I have uploaded that brush pack to that dropbox. Quote
Staff Chris B Posted June 18, 2019 Staff Posted June 18, 2019 I'm just letting you know this is logged to be looked at. I spent some time trying to change some of the settings in Photo but I couldn't quite get there.

Koniotaur Posted June 18, 2019 Author Posted June 18, 2019 Awaiting for results of that investigation then. Edit Also same applies to Affinity Designer, results are same as in Photo. Chris B 1 Quote
MissJazzDaFunk Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I'm getting this issue too. I'm testing out my Kyle Webster Brushes and they look very wonky. As well as my usual inking brushes, Shiyoon Kim's pack. Chris B 1 Quote
Staff Chris B Posted July 12, 2019 Staff Posted July 12, 2019 Still waiting for feedback I'm afraid. Koniotaur 1 Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials
Staff Chris B Posted August 13, 2019 Staff Posted August 13, 2019 I've just checked in the latest beta and there's no change I'm afraid. I have updated the affects version to reflect the fact it still hasn't been resolved. My apologies. Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials
Koniotaur Posted September 3, 2019 Author Posted September 3, 2019 Is it the time to already give up on this? Quote
Staff Chris B Posted September 4, 2019 Staff Posted September 4, 2019 I'm sorry you are feeling discouraged but I understand. Unfortunately, I have little influence on how the developers prioritise bugs. At the moment we have a general issue with importing .abr brushes is being worked on. I'm not sure if this particular issue will be resolved along with it. Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials
Koniotaur Posted November 21, 2019 Author Posted November 21, 2019 As of today I still see no change. Quote
Koniotaur Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 Has this been fixed new release? Quote
Koniotaur Posted March 22, 2020 Author Posted March 22, 2020 I just checked, this still persists in 1.8.2. I don't get it how such a crucial feature is being skipped for over half year. Quote
Staff Chris B Posted March 30, 2020 Staff Posted March 30, 2020 I realise that this is a crucial feature for those of you who are leaving Adobe for our products and need to import your brushes for work. I have bumped the bug report each time this thread has been bumped, as well as other threads where this is raised. I can only apologise that this still hasn't been resolved. ashf and Koniotaur 1 1 Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials
GunsOFSteel Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 I totally agree that this needs urgent attention. Ive been on and off this forum for 3 years asking for this. I only open AP these days hoping to find an update waiting to be downloaded with this fix. Unfortunately, I can not paint in AP with its brushes after using PS. Ive searched the net and can not find a program that is on Windows that can import .ABR files correctly. If this was fixed in AP it would strongly compete with PS in digital painting a long with it photo imagining tools. Im so looking forward to the day when I can drop Photoshop and paint in Affinity with my brush library. Im sure a lot of my industry friends will feel the same. Ruslan TV 1 Quote

Hi Chris, I wanted to BUMP this post in the hope that this issue will be looked at for the next update. Also, I wanted to draw your attention to a Facebook post I saw today. GrutBrushes have been developing digital brush sets for artists for many years, mostly for Photoshop. Over the last few years, their brushes have become popular in other desktop and portable device apps that can correctly import .ABR files. Such as Artstudio, Procreate, and other Adobe sketch apps. I've approached them to see if they could create brushes for Affinity, unfortunately, they don't feel the brush engine has enough control to create such complex and well texture brushes. So, I thought by using the screen captured posts you may be able to persuade someone in the corner office that this is a fix that needs immediate attention. Check out the number of likes, shares and comments. Surely there's a huge market of digital artists to attract to Affinity once the importer is fixed?

Thanks for the feedback and comments GunsOFSteel. That is certainly a bit of a gut-punch to read. I will pass this on.
