The Ugly Truth About Printing Photos Edited in Affinity Photo. By Devaun Lennox. In today’s video I’m going to really kind of battle what the question is affinity photo actually good when it comes to color reproduction or reproduction when it comes to printing photos and in my honest opinion just kind of put that out. Brushes in Affinity Photo go far beyond the standard circular brush most of us are probably familiar with. In some ways they even surpass what can be done in Photoshop. Firstly, there’s a wide array of different brush tips to choose from, including the excellent set of grunge brushes we’ve used for our scatter effect here.

The Paint Brush Tool and other brush-based tools can be used to add brush strokes to your image for creative or corrective reasons. An impressive selection of categorized brushes is available for use with these tools in the Brushes panel. Each category in the panel contains brushes of varying properties and characteristics.

The appearance of brush strokes are determined by a combination of the chosen brush tool, the Brushes panel and the tool's context toolbar.

If you want to save a brush, these can be stored in the panel as a custom brush for future use.

The Undo Brush Tool can be used to undo modifications made to an image layer by other painting tools.

Multi-brushes

This feature allows any brush to have one or more additional sub brushes attached to it. The sub brushes will draw over the top of the base brush as the stroke is applied. It is intended to introduce more nib variety, randomness and character to your brush stroke appearance (avoiding repetitive texture tiling) so the results are more varied and natural. Each sub brush can have a fully separate and customizable set of dynamics. You can control where the sub brushes are drawn on the stroke and how they blend with the main brush.

Sub-brushes can be created from an existing brush or as a new brush by accessing the Sub-brushes tab in the Brush - Editing dialog (double-click a pixel brush in the panel to view). You can drag and drop existing brushes from the same Brushes Panel category directly into the tab's Sub Brushes list. Change the order in which they are added to the main brush by dragging them up or down in the list.
