Too many brushes will not install


Recommended Posts

I've bought quite a few brushes that will not install on Affinity Photo iPad and I don't know why. The file type is .abr so why won't they import? Artstudio has no problems with them but I MUCH prefer Affinity Photo iPad and don't want to have to keep going in and out of other apps.

If vector brushes make sure you are in vector mode and for raster brushes switch to raster mode. If it is an issue with the actual brushes, mods may be able to help if you give them a sample brush to work with. :)

Not sure if the iPad is having the same problem as the desktop versions but there is a known bug on 1.7.2 desktop that is preventing any brushes from being imported. They're looking into that now so hoping that might be the same thing with the iPad version.

Best wishes,

Mark

I think that was just an iPadOS issue (beta) that was fixed in latest iOS beta release. I may be wrong though.

Unfortunately not. Definitely an issue on desktop and has been confirmed. I've been re-creating so many brushes the past couple of days as can't install anything :(

I still can't import brushes into Affinity Photo iPad. A few will import but most will not. WAY over this...

What kind of brushes are you trying to import? APh only understands *.abr files, not *.tpl files.

When they fail to import, what error message do you get?

They are .abr files and they were imported previously. Don't know why I lost so many brushes.

They are not vector brushes.

When I try to import the app opens and then closes without any import happening.

What happens if you try to import them with the app already open?
