Hi guys, thanks for the assistance. This is a quick sample of what was possible in Photoshop using two filters from the filter gallery i.e., grain, and stamp. In addition to a photocopy texture you can get on a stock site. I think I've solved it in Affinity photo for my own preference, for anyone interested. I used noise, black and white, and levels. I think my problem with using threshold was losing all the grey values which I realised I like having. My example doesn't have that but I'm happy with the results I was seeing in Affinity vs Photoshop using those adjustment layers.

You're right, unfortunately I do that on my work machine and have to wait till the new week. I'll post it on Monday though. I just thought I'd take a chance and put the question out there. The response above mine mentions threshold which I messed around with a bit. I tried using a combination of noise and threshold but the results just weren't as satisfying, for lack of a better word. Will get back soonest.

Hi, I’m still learning how to transition to affinity. Since the software does things in its owns way, there is a bit of a learning curve. One trick I need to transfer from photoshop is the ability to mimic a photocopy effect. In photoshop, you simply go to effects and add two, namely: grain, and stamp. Allowing a quick and easy win. What is the equivalent of doing so in affinity designer? I cannot seem to figure it out.

Is it possible to update the selection of colours in the ‘quick colours’ section of the colour menu? What I’m specifically referring to appears at the bottom of the colour menu, and the default options are black, grey, white, and blue. I was wondering if this could be changed as it is a convenient feature, but I don’t work in that blue. I know it seems silly, but it would be cool if I could update just one of those for the way I like to work, without having to create a swatches palette which would only serve as the same thing. It would allow me to stay on the colour wheel/sliders without jumping back and forth into swatches. Like I said, I know it seems silly but I’m hoping it’s possible.
