[Problem with soft brushes in 8-bit mode and "halo" gradients]

@Anthony Okon Work with 16-bit canvases at the bare minimum and export in 8-bit after. Performance wise Affinity deals with 16-bit and 32-bit pretty well. You can't really work with 8-bit canvases while brush gradients create such ugly halos and grains, so it's the only real solution until they add dithering to their brush engine.

The other "alternative" is to blur with filters or the Blur Tool afterwards, but really, that's just a ton of extra work for something that can be done by increasing the bit rate.

Ok. Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it.

It's V2. I love it, but i think we still have the same issue (i guess) across all 3 programs. Will something be done about it?

switching to 16 and 32 shouldn't even have to happen.

Please guide me if i'm wrong.

thanks.

 

[Color palette generator.]

Thanks for the illustration. I was hoping that the problem would be improved upon. 

I was thinking a real time visible generator will be widely appreciated as this will make work a little easier and faster as you can just dial in your main color and just sample immediately or copy the hex code if needed.

I meant something similar to the Adobe color palette generator where you click on a color and you see the colors that will work using different color harmonies rather than having to extract a palette from a photograph. (Just a thought).

I actually have all 3 applications.

Is it possible to have a color palette generator with color harmony rules built into Affinity?

[Updated to 1.9 and now All Affinity apps crash when I try to print.]

I have the same crash issue too. Please fix it. thanks

[Request for in-built Gradient maps Presets]

Good day,

I'm Anthony Okon and I'm a loyal customer who owns all your programs. I'd like to request that you kindly provide some photographic gradient maps presets with the programs as that could be of help to some people (including me) who wouldn't mind having a starting point for color grading.
