Skitterbug Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I am on Mac Mojave O/S - Affinity Photo V1.7.3. My question is about the tool that appears when I try to apply sharpening in High Pass after inverting the applied mask. It doesn't remain a circle but changes into a little line. It is very hard to follow and I can say that so far I dislike even trying to use it. How can I make my brush show up as a circle again? See the attached screen shot of the little line that I am referring to. Thanks for help with this problem. Skitterbug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chul Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Hi @Skitterbug Did you happen to turn on the stabilizer by any chance? Skitterbug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitterbug Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 I'll check...... Yes - it WAS checked and now it isn't! And yes, that corrected the problem. I did not see this covered in any of the documentation. The explanation may be there but for me it is apparently well hidden! Thank you very much for replying and sharing info! I appreciate it!

Chul Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Not a problem, glad to help! The only reason I knew about it was because I turned it on one day simply to play with it and soon decided it's not for me! Skitterbug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitterbug Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) I totally agree - it doesn't seem very useful at this point in my photo editing scheme. It would be nice if there was some documentation about it and maybe there is, but I haven't located anything yet. Again, thank you! I'm a happy camper again!

That's what we want!! Thank you for the link to brush info! As you may guess, I am maybe a couple of steps above beginner regarding photo editing with this application. I haven't used this to its full potential! I have the workbook and am making headway through it but I'm impatient. And then I run into problems like the stabilizer and what does it do, etc. becoming frustrated when I can't find the info that I need. So again, thank you for your help with this!
