If you duplicate the adjustment layers you can use States to help you to adjust them all at the same time.
Crete a new States Query to select all of the relevant adjustment layers – maybe give the original a specific name or tag colour before duplicating – and then select them all and make the changes.
Note: If you are using States with adjustment layers then you need to select one of the adjustment layers and open the Adjustment Dialog before activating the Query, otherwise opening the Adjustment Dialog after the selection will deselect the other layers.
See attached video for a basic example where I am using the name "ColourChange" to select the layers.

Huh, that is very interesting. So if I have a ton of art boards that I want to export and I have an adjustment layer applied, based on what you and Gary said, I’m going to have to duplicate said layer and place it within the areas of each selection to be exported when using export persona? Ref the original issue, it’s not a color calibration because the distinction is between the image displayed within the app and the image exported, hence the need for the adjustment layer. Thanks again for your help <moderated)>

That’s wild. So it’s lighter for myself and my client using different hardware, and darker for you…. The plot thickens. Thanks for trying it out!

Next: the washed out cards are rendered washed out within the app out on my iPad.
could there be any issues with color calibration on your pc or display?

First observation: if you export layers in export persona (like Artboards), any adjustment layers above in the layer stack get ignored(by design). This explains why it has no effect at export.

If you export the whole document via the Export Dialog (on Desktop, not sure how it's done on iPad) then the result should contain everything in the document (depending upon export settings).
If, on the other hand, you export a selection via the Export Dialog, or a Slice via the Export Persona, then the result should not contain anything outside of the selection or Slice.
This is normal behaviour for the Affinity applications, and the second instance can be very useful when you want to export part of a document without the rest of the document affecting it.

This is how it looks if I export. It seems to me my export is little bit darker.

Because I live life on the edge.

Bump

The color range is very powerful.  I hope that affinity photo will join this feature later.

I've wanted to see Serif developers make this happen for a long time. Meanwhile, I've tried all kinds of workflow experiments for creating SVG animation using Affinity Design, and they're all super tedious. Lottie has Canvas integration, so I hoped when Serif and Canvas got married that would move the needle towards Affinity integration, or better yet, license Lottie code for integration in Affinity Design/Publisher.

Obviously you guys have a lot on your plate…. But simple vector animations would be incredible.

This thread is the only reason I log into this site now…. because I’m a sadist apparently…. and wouldn’t you know? They spent time and presumably money updating the forum since my last login, but apparently NONE on the subject of the longest running thread (of any import) on said forum. Oh, the bitter irony.
Someone once said that Serif were just controlled opposition for Adobe… I dismissed the “conspiracy theory” at the time, but time itself makes a convincing argument.
Canva will eat both of them, and I won’t shed one tear.

Hey Dan, thanks for such a thorough reply. Yeah, zooming in or out does help. I’ve not had the issue for a bit, but will screengrab this for future reference. Love the App, thanks again!

Are you sure you copied a text object in V1?
To me in V1 it pastes the font + the gradient … which feels like an expected behaviour when pasting a text style since colour is just a text style attribute like font face or size etc. (To paste the gradient only you can copy a non-text object.)

Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded to Affinity Designer 2 on macOS. With Affinity Designer 1, I was able to copy an element with a gradient fill on it and then paste the gradient using 'Paste Style' on a different element. (For example: text gradient copied, pasted to another text element.) 
In the past, it would just paste the gradient and not change the font. Now it's changing the font.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

There's a Settings option in the Affinity apps to enable the View Tool, I think.

Better at least HEX than nothing.
...but if you really want to see CMYK values often, maybe there should be a small button next to this box, that would cycle between HEX/CMYK/HSL and remember that choice for each color window separately.
This way I could let it keep showing HEX and you could make it show CMYK or HSL and it would still take this  little space.

My apologies for any confusion caused, I can verify this is still currently logged as a requested improvement with our development team, however our recent update has also resolved may Artboard Bleed export issues.
I've 'bumped' this improvement request with our development team to bring it to their attention once again for you

Hi Mark,
In the snapping menu if you untick show snapping candidates it should stop showing the pink outline
Thanks

Buy V2 for this.

Thanks, but that is also not the "invert pixel selection" function. The function we're looking for is the one where, if you have a set of pixels selected (surrounded by marching ants), you invert the selection so that everything outside the marching ants becomes selected.

Thanks, but your screenshot is from Photo, and the topic is about Designer's Pixel Persona.

H is the shortcut you want
