Brush opacity

It would be beneficial to be able to adjust the brush opacity. For example, so as to be able to reduce the amount of sharpening or noise reduction where the preview shows over sharpening or blurring of detail in some areas but not others.

Do you mean being able to adjust the strength of the individual filters like sharpen and denoise or the “redness” or transparency of the mask itself?

Yes Tim. At the moment I create a Topaz layer in Affinity photo so I can mask out any areas that don’t work out so well. Being able to do the same by adjustment the strength of the mask in Topaz photo ai, rather than mask or no mask, would be really cool.

Tim,

PS. If I was unclear, I mean the opacity of the red.

You can change the brush overlay in the Preferences > General menu.

Thank you Tim, that is good to know. I had not seen it because I had not been looking for it. In turn, that was because it had not been mentioned on YouTube. However, changing the preference did not seem to affect the strength of the brush, or if it did, it was hard to tell in the small window. Helpful though this preference could be, it would be good if it was dynamic as a slider, like the brush size slider, and the mask, and its opacity, is visible in the main window.

Best wishes,

David

If you’re talking about the strength of the filter in the masked area, you can control that by opening the filter itself and adjusting the sliders. The opacity of the red mask itself is not indicative of the strength of the filters.

“The opacity of the red mask itself is not indicative of the strength of the filters.” And I am suggesting that it would be a good idea if it was. Instead of the filters having a global effect within the mask they could have a varied effect.

BTW I am aware of the current functionality of the filters; I have been a Topaz user for a few years.

Ah I see what you mean now.
