Hi Bobsummit, Yes it's possible. The command is 'Invert' in Affinity Photo (⌘I). Paul. -
Hi DreamThinkLive, So would tearing off the Swatches or Colour tab (as you can in Photoshop®) to access the eyedropper tool at the same time as the brushes (see below) be what you want? Alternatively, you can tear off the Brushes tab so that it's always visible. If you are requesting that the Eyedropper Tool be placed in the main Tools palette with an associated keyboard shortcut, then you can add this as a Feature Request. Paul.

Hi DreamThinkLive, The Eyedropper Tool is part of the Swatches tab, as well as the Colour tab: Once selected, just drag it over the area you want to sample: Once sampled, click the foreground or background indicator to load the colour: Is this what you are asking? Paul.

Cracking!

Alternatively, the path shape can have your image pasted inside, thereby creating a mask for the image.

Hi aki_ingol, It will most likely be a language support issue yet to be sorted out: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/4782-language/?fromsearch=1 Paul.

That's right. As Callum said, just make sure your document is CMYK & you have selected your profile. You can either convert the individual document to the profile you need: Or make the CMYK profile your default setting for all your CMYK files, in Affinity's settings: Paul.

You're welcome, Paul.

Hi Paul (great name, by the way! ;)) No problem, sharing info is the purpose of this forum. Not all graphic designers would know how to install .icc files & how to change default profiles. This is the Library I refer to, in the 'root directory', within a folder called CMYK Profiles which is within /Library/Colorsync/Profiles: Obviously, the name of the Hard Drive will be whatever your Hard Drive is named. The system will probably ask you for your admin password. Cheers, Paul.

Hi krunberry, Welcome to the forum.
-
Hi Paul, Yes, you can download the profile to your Mac. Make sure it's saved to the Libray folder that has your other CMYK .icc files. When you start up Affinity this time, the GRAcol profile should appear in the drop down menu. Paul.

Hi Dxruss, The Photoshop drop shadow layer effect can be separated out to become an independent layer in Photoshop CS6, maybe that might help? Paul.
-
Thanks, Dave and apologies Johnny! I didn't realise until later that you have to manually change font substitution to the text layers after opening files that are other than .ai/.pdf files! Paul. :blink:
-
Hi Johny, Affinity has the same feature. As soon as the file opens, the fonts warning dialog has drop down menus for choosing alternative typefaces for each missing font. Paul.

Thanks, Patrick. I will be home in about 7-8 hours, I don't have Affinity at work. I'll look at the files then. Cheers, Paul.

Wow, eebee! Love your work!

You're welcome, Patrick. :D

Hi patrickfoster, Could you post the PDF & the AD files here for us to inspect? Thanks, Paul. Paul.

Thanks, MEB, I'm not sure why it didn't work for me – I'll give it another shot when I get home! -
Hi patrickfoster, Is your laser printer PostScript compatible? If not, you may need to make your file RGB, instead of CMYK. Paul.

The best way to understand the Pantone Matching System, is to see a Color Bridge book of swatches. It shows the solid Pantone colour beside it's CMYK equivalent & helps to illustrate the difficulty in getting an accurate match when using CMYK exclusively – sometimes, only a solid Pantone ink will do the job! -

I forgot to add, both apps are necessary for converting two different swatch formats. ColorBook can't handle .ase swatches, the other app can. Neither can handle .ai swatches.
