Can´t import brushes


Recommended Posts

  • Staff

Hey Struppi, welcome to the Affinity Forums.

Would you be able to upload the brush to this private Dropbox folder please?

Can you also upload yours to the same place @gregory ciencin?

Edit - It looks like we've already logged this but it still wouldn't hurt to get the brushes from you just to be safe.

Here on my System it's the same. Not able to import .abr files. They all giving the same error.

If needed, i can upload some of them in the evening when i'm back at home.

Have a nice day.

using windows 10 latest update

Affinity 1.7.2.471, current

I tried to imprt some oldish photoshop brushes [for lightening effect] without success into the latest Affinity Photo release.

 

Quick fix, since they had imported into the last beta [1.7.2.434], was to export from there and import into the current Affinity photo release

This suggested workaround (fix) is indeed working:

1. downgrade your AP beta version to 1.7.2.434
2. import the brushes you want
3. export the brushes
4. import them to AP 1.7.2.471

I did it. If you have Publisher, I didn’t accept the update, I went to the Photo persona and downloaded all the abr brushes with no problem.

if you don’t have publisher, you’ll have to wait for Affinity to do another update fixing what they messed up.

I have another workaround that works without needing to downgrade but it is a bit of a pain. It got me through what I wanted to do for now.

 

TextureMate .com has a little app that is free called AbrMate.  AbrMate can open most .abr files and allow you to convert them to png files which can then be used to recreate the brushes in Affinity as Affinity brushes. If you are needing only a few brushes this is Ok    But I would still like to find out how to downgrade. :)

Hallo Struppi, willkommen in den Affinity-Foren.

Könntest du den Pinsel bitte in diesen privaten Dropbox- Ordner hochladen ?

Können Sie auch Ihre an den gleichen Ort @Gemeinschaft Ciencin hochladen ?

Bearbeiten - Es sieht so aus, als hätten wir dies bereits protokolliert, aber es würde trotzdem nicht schaden, die Pinsel von Ihnen zu bekommen, nur um sicher zu gehen.

Es sind alle Pinsel!

Same Problem with every brushes.

I downloaded also AP 1.7.2.434. and install them. But, now I've got two running Versions on my PC. And the AP 1.7.2.434 asks me to download the newest Version. And there is no possibility to enter the Productkey.....

And the Brushes a have imported bevore (there are many brushes) , now are not avalible in this beta version. This is not the way to fix the Problem! AffinityTeam please fix the bug :)

Same here with Version 1.7.2.471 (latest) on a fresh Win10 installation. 

The error message appears with all .abr brushes. With the 1.7.1.xxx the import still worked perfectly.

On Windows you can install 1.7.3.476 beta of Photo which resolves the import problem. You can then export .afbrushes files for use in the 1.7.2 versions of all 3 applications.
