Paint Brush Tool (Affinity Photo)

[@simon8723]

Thanks. I know a lot of pros may not appreciate but for us newbies, this is great. Keep creating them - also for iPad would be great.

[@rlbink2498]

Thanks for making these basic videos. As others have pointed out, they are not for the pros but this bite-sized approach is useful for a beginner like me. Affinity (am on Mac version) is no doubt powerful but I struggle with it sometimes because operations and buttons are not obvious to me, for example, in your video, “create pixel layer” is a task fulfilled by that button below the layers panel. Many tutorials rush through these bits and bobs and it is precisely these things that trip me up.

Such a useful tutorial,. very inspirational and creative. So much easier than reading a reference book thank you.

[@jantepas7511]

A great tutorial. It shows the power of Affinity. Thanks

[@JoeLoffredo]

Up until now I've been making overall adjustments and no selective ones. Thanks to your video, I'm going to up my game!

[@mauriziopalladino2514]

Fantastico video!!!!Attendo sempre con piacere l'uscita dei video sul canale di Affinity...GRAZIE!!!

[@wayneviglione6879]

Great video for newbies to Affinity.

[@Upal_Chatterji]

Very basic but useful for a newbie like me, I will see it again while practising alongside, thank you 🙏🏻

[@imanol4468]

Love this tuts, very easy to follow. Thank you!!

Hey, thank you for the detailed video, it’s really helpful. I’m struggling to achieve the same as you did at 4:31 …when I run my brush over the watercolour paper like you did I don’t see my background photo - only the pixels layer with grey and white squares. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? I’ve copied your layers and layer positions and cannot for the life of me work it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Great tutorial. Why do you use the masking brush?

[@David66Stang]

Awesome! Can someone explain, though, why is it some brushes (purchased or acquired) do not show brush previews on the canvas?

[@ianbrowne9304]

well explained as always

[@SteveRuggMastermarketeer]

That brush tool Icon does not exist in Affinity 2 only mixer brush?

[@DavesChaoticBrain]

Is there a video for setting up Affinity to behave as though I'm drawing on paper with a pencil when using a drawing display? I can't quite seem to get it right.

[@MK-ni6gs]

Thank you very much!

[@Psyko_Blood]

Looking for a tutorial on how to make a Custom Signature Brush for Affinity 2.3.0 for windows.

[@9rium74-75]

Can someone tell me how to get rid off those little gray pixels that appear aroud brush strokes?

[@gerdt.7106]

Great help. Thank you.

[@jonathoncuff184]

where can we get the paper texture file please?

[@djr3386]

Useful. Thanks 🙏

[@connierobinson1682]

Hi. I hope you can help me. The white line that is around your brush, I have managed to turn mine off somehow. How do I turn this back on? Thanks so much! :)

[@scottybreuer]

It's a setting near the top of the screen to turn your brush "wet".

[@jessesimpson8061]

Thanks!!!

[@darronjonesii637]

Wow!

[@itstheniceguyme]

There are no square bracket keys on my keyboard.

[@kellog89]

On windows, you can also change the brush size by pressing Ctrl Alt click and moving the mouse (to the right to increase, left to decrease)

[@Muthukaviyarasan]

we need brush engine improvements 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@JulesMoyaert_photo]

👍👍👍

以前みたいにMac用とWindows用の動画をわけてくれたら嬉しいんだけどなぁ…。 制作側の合理的な判断なのは理解出来るけど、ユーザーの合理性は削られてしまうんだよなぁ。オフィシャルな動画では視聴者側の合理性を優先してくれると嬉しい。

[@mtm7031]

Hello affinity team Can you update ai generative fill in affinity photo?

[@mlevesque33]

Can also add a way to completely deselect a brush so the paint brush tool can be used for masking. Useful tutorial nevertheless.
