Frozen Death Knight Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I've been testing the Smudge tool quite a bit lately, and I noticed some very strange behaviour that I would not expect out of this tool when trying out various settings. Down below is a pretty straight forward demonstration of the problems. I wasn't able to produce a video of the tool creating holes in the transparency because the brushes I used I haven't imported to the latest Beta version, but I think the results shown in this video are enough to prove my point that it is a bit broken.

Staff Chris B Posted July 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hey Frozen Death Knight, Is it specific to that image? I've tried it on some samples and I can't seem to build up the effect you're seeing. I tried it on the 'Warrior' sample file as it seemed to share the similar painted style of your image. Any chance you could upload your sample? I don't think it looks quite right either...

Frozen Death Knight Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 @Chris B I will send you one of my files and you can try it for yourself in just a bit. Also, no, it is not unique to that document (tested it in both the live and Beta versions, btw). I am on Windows 10. I also was able to reproduce the issue with transparency holes just now. What you need to reproduce it is using a tablet with pressure sensitivity. If you are pressing your pen against the tablet to regulate pressure, many of the brushes that are packaged in Photo will create holes in your fully non-transparent colours. To be able to reproduce the issue from my first video you just need your mouse and click drag, which has no pressure sensitivity at all. The results for the Smudge tool differ between pressure sensitive and non-pressure sensitive commands. Here's a new video showing pressure sensitivity in action.

Staff Chris B Posted July 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 19, 2019 Right I've got it this time. I'll get it logged with the developers. No need for the file(s) now Frozen Death Knight 1 Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graymare Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I have the same problem. Mac OS 10.14.6 Smudge tool's behaviour is not consistent between mouse and tablet. Attempting to use a tablet causes it to erase / add transparency to the smudge strokes, making the tool unusable. Behaviour persists on the current version of Affinity Photo (1.7.3).

jonathan123 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hi, I have the same issue with the transparency when using my tablet in Affinity Photo 1.9.2.1035 on Windows 10. João Vítor Martins and Frozen Death Knight 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlzbetaH Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Hi, I have the same problem using affinity-photo-1.10.4 on Windows 10; the smudge brush tool creates holes in opacity when size control by pressure is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
