While you get the response you need from either input, you'll still be able to fine-tune brush settings for pressure/velocity. Otherwise, the brush stroke properties will vary from a minimum to maximum amount (e.g. If set to 'None', the brush is always a fixed size, flow setting, etc. as you paint according to a particular input: 'Pressure', 'Velocity', 'Brush Defaults', or 'None'. This automatic response is governed by the brush controller which is set to automatic by default-it senses the type of input device and varies brush size, flow, etc. The same brush tools can be used but with simulated pressure sensitivity based on the speed (velocity) of your mouse movements. Whether you're using vector-based Pen, Pencil or brush tools, or pixel-based brush or retouch tools, you can simply connect your device and you're ready to go.įor mouse users, Affinity Designer lets your mouse become velocity sensitive by default. If you prefer a mouse, Affinity Designer offers simulated pressure sensitivity.
