Bethany Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I’m having issues with importing brushes to affinity on my iPad. I used to download brushes from deviant art and brusheezy, but now it doesn’t seem to work. Tried importing specifically affinity photo brushes and I’m still having the same issue.

DM1 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hi Bethany, unless there is an issue with the brushes or a bug in affinity (bug fix claimed for importing brushes in latest release) the only other consideration would be to ensure vector brushes are imported when in Design persona and raster brushes when in Pixel persona. Location sometimes plays a part. Usually iCloud gives least issues. Also make sure zipped files are unzipped. Files app can now do this in iOS 13.

ABR brush imported, afbushes failed, AP.

captaine Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Having the same problem. I use AF Photo for painting on windows, and just recently got an iPad to take some of my work on the go. I'm trying to import the Daub Pigmento brushes I bought, but for some reason, AF Photo for iPad refuses to let me select any of the .afbrushes files :( iPadOS 13.1.2, AF Photo for iPad 1.7.3.155 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 That is strange. I am currently able to import .afbrush files from Dropbox to Affinity Photo. Perhaps it is something to do with the specific brush that you are importing? I have attached a .afbrushes file (made by Pedro Soares) that I just now successfully imported, in case you wish to test it. snow brushes.afbrushes Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

I transferred them to the "Affinity Photo" folder "On My iPad", but they appear as grayed out and unselectable when I try to import them in AP.

DM1 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 You can't import from that location. It’s an ongoing issue that unfortunately, like a lot of bugs in the affinity iPad apps, have not yet been fixed. Try installing from Dropbox or iCloud. They should work (I used Dropbox successfully with that brush file). Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Finally caved and signed up for dropbox, and that did the trick. Very bizarre... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
