I came across this massive bundle of photo-editing resources. Loads of overlays, textures and Photoshop brushes, which I believe can be used in Affinity (not sure if that counts for all brushes.), There's also Photoshop actions and Lightroom templates which aren't useful for Affinity but they might be.
Integration with your Affinity app
After restarting the app, turning the dial while the Move Tool is selected will rotate the document in the view. Click the dial to reset the document's orientation.
Faster, smoother and more powerful than ever, Affinity Photo continues to push the boundaries of professional photo editing software. Finding Your Way Around The Affinity Photo User Interface. The user interface in Affinity Photo is. This week's Q&A I talk about the Surface Pro pen problem (Spoiler alert, they finally fixed it!) and answer some questions about the Adonit Pixel stylus.
With one of the Pixel, Erase or various other pixel-based brush tools selected, click Surface Dial to choose which attribute (brush width, accumulation, flow, and hardness) is adjusted by rotating the Dial. These tools display a large graphical overlay that provides clear feedback.

Some commands in your Affinity app do not have keyboard shortcuts assigned to them by default. You will need to give them shortcuts in the app's Keyboard Shortcuts preferences before configuring Surface Dial to invoke them.
Example custom commands for Surface Dial in Affinity apps
Below are examples of how you might use Surface Dial in your workflow to control brush size and layer order. The walkthroughs at the bottom of this page explain how to implement these and other personalizations.
In the left example above, rotating the Dial moves the current layer back or forward progressively in the layer stack, while clicking it sends the layer all the way to the back.
In the right example, rotating the Dial adjusts brush size (as long as the appropriate tool is selected). The Click shortcut toggles the Brushes Panel; normally there is no keyboard shortcut assigned to this action, so you'll need to set the same key combination in your Affinity app's preferences.
