MintyMan Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) I love Affinity Photo for editing photos, 3D renders and also be able to do some digital drawings. Recently, I have really noticed that I could really use an opacity slider in the Dynamics tab for brushes. It is now usually a standard for Image editing softwares and digital drawing software to have pressure sensitivity levels on opacity for brushes and I would think this one thing could make the software a lot better for photo editing and also make painting on Affinity photo very viable. It would also be nice if the normal Opacity slider was also in the general tab as well. These are just some quick screenshots that I took of the brush settings and just edited it to show what it could look like. I really hope "Accumulation" will be renamed to Opacity or the Opacity slider getting renamed to "Accumulation" . EDIT: I noticed Accumulation does do similar or the same thing to Opacity but whenever I would change the Accumulation in the brush editing, it would not effect the "Opacity slider" in the context tool bar making me very confused. I also think it would really really nice if there was "global pressure sensitivity settings" in maybe like the preferences and it would be just like a pressure sensitivity curve that can be set. Edited September 30, 2019 by MintyMan I made a mistake thinking there was no dynamic opacity setting for brushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSurfer1221 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 It is confusing. Every other piece of photo software and art software calls it "Opacity". So, why be different here? When I first started to adjust brushes or attempt to make my own, I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to adjust "opacity" or to control it via pressure. I thought it would be simple, and just dove in, but could not find opacity under Dynamics. What makes this more confusing is there is an opacity slider on the top toolbar of the main interface. So, you expect to find "opacity" in the brush settings, too (especially under the Dynamics section). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
