Latest version of affinity designer v2 Windows Microsoft 10 home Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 Step by step: see video. Notice how color changes at 1:11 very brief description of the problem: I pick a color from a photo within the document. I would like to edit the color and open the color chooser. The color that is shown in the little color preview patch is correct. When I try to work with HSL, that color changes in the preview (even if I just confirm the values). If, on the other hand, I confirm the values in RGB, the HSL definition of the color changes, but the preview stays the same. It seems to me that the HSL color notation is not correct (it is not the color I picked), but the RGB color is. When I make any "changes" (including just entering the same values that are displayed again), the RGB and HSL somehow are in line again. Very frustrating until I figured that out, because the color hue kept changing, when I just intended to change lightness. Additional info: document setup "print", CMYK colors 2023-05-04affinity.mp4

My workflow is a secret I am willing to share :-) I would like to use Designer to create schematic illustrations. i mostly use combinations of simple shapes, lines and text with mouse and keyboard. Sometimes I need pressure sensitivity to add organic shapes like tree branches or blood vessels. From your replies I get that drawing with a tablet pen just does not work that well in Affinity Designer, it is probably not a specific xp-pen problem and there is nothing that can be done about it right now. Individual strokes can be fixed by adjusting the pressure profile. THanks for your replies!

I use the xp-pen artist 22HD.

Hi and thanks for replying to my question. And welcoming me. And sorry for not introducing myself properly - it was late and I was frustrated, if that's any excuse :-) I just started with Affinity Designer and I had this problem right from the beginning. before I updated to the latest version it happended with every single stroke, now it happens frequently, but not with every stroke. As adviced I captured it on video (thanks for the recommendation of OBS): Please have a look at 00:23 00:29 (here the artefact is seen in preview, but when I release, it is gone. But the line thickness is not what it should be - I start with a lot of pressure, releasing it) 01:07 (artefact and zoom-in on what it looks like) 2019-10-07 21-37-54.mkv The video is 4 MB, I hope that is ok. If not, let me know and I will have to look into how I can reduce the file size. I have not done video editing before on my computer (i.e. no clue and no software, probably), so that's why here is the lazy version. It looked to me like the initial max pressure was not transmitted and then there was a very abrupt change in line thickness when this pressure was transmitted, leading to this artefacts. You can see when I move the handles, that it is just a really abrupt change in thickness. I thought I will just try to delete the first node. My reasoning was, that if it is a problem with the pressure not being correctly detected / translated / whatever for the first node, but then being ok for the second, that should remove the artefacts. However, the artefact is following to the second node, if I do this. Thanks for taking your time to read this, it is appreciated

When I start drawing the line it begins with a small circle even if I apply full pressure. When I continue to draw the line strange artefacts are produced. In the sample attached I tried to start with maximum pressure and releasing it while drawing further to the right. Is there any way to fix it or work around that? beispiel.afdesign On Windows 10 latest version of affinity designer is installed
