Or, conversely, really allow those PS Brushes to be used and sweep yet another leg out from under Adobe. But then say there’s no support for it at all and not get hopes up that these brushes will work. If Serif doesn’t want to fully support PS Brushes, that’s fine. I almost had to go back to a PS subscription, but luckily I learned Artstudio pro can read the brushes just fine and I was able to use the brushes there without an issue.īut here’s the thing: I don’t want to use Artstudio, I don’t want to use PS, I want to use Affinity Photo. I popped them into AP, only to discover the brushes were pretty much unusable. I recently signed up for a digital painting course, and we are encouraged to use the PS brushes supplied by the instructor. These brushes were specifically designed and created for this course. Serif is offering a way to get away from photoshop because you don’t have to give up your favorite tools, but then not really.Įspecially on the education side of things does this really become a glaring issue. Like it or not, PS Brushes are still the “industry standard.” And while I love affinity photo (especially the iPad version), advertising it has support for PS brushes and then they don’t work at all well is problematic. I know this thread is nearly a year old, but I’ve been running into just this exact issue and trying to find a solution.Īnywho, as Serif uses “Support for Photoshop Brushes” as a selling point for Affinity Photo, no, I don’t think we should be leaving support for PS Brushes behind (at least not in this current iteration).

Better to have a brush that is created for and takes advantage of the Affinity line then have to settle for a hand me down Photoshop brush.

Some are paid, some graciously give away free brushes, but we should try and support their efforts. That is why I don't even bother with Photoshop brushes but instead seek out Affinity 3rd party developers, such as Frankentoon, or Paolo's DAUB brushes, or Agata's brushes. They are two different companies with different ways of doing things in their apps.

We are never going to be able to use Photoshop brushes and have them behave the same way as they do in Photoshop. We should be supporting them, encouraging them, we should want native brushes created FOR Affinity Photo and Designer. There are many fine people making brushes available for the Affinity apps that are 100% created for the Affinity apps. I know many want to be able to use the brushes, and smart objects, and plugins and whatnot that they are so used to with Adobe, but if we make the switch to Affinity shouldn't we leave that behind? I was a long time Adobe user and now I am using the Affinity apps.
