Thanks Thomaso, I'll do that. It's just hung again as I colour picked from the generic palette in the new document I made containing some of the objects from the project. It might have to be a tomorrow's job to test now. I didn't know the palette was LAB, I might also try creating a new colour palette from the project itself. It's one of my favourite features of afdesign so I'm baffled as to why it's glitching. Thanks for your late night help (from NZ).

Hi Thomaso, I created the colour palette in Designer when I set up the job (I made a mood board of images and selected 'create palette from document' and I exported it as a document palette to the job folder). I import the document palette each time I open this document or create a new document for this job (weirdly, it doesn't retain the document palette within the document). The hang problem happens repeatedly when I'm working on the original document containing multiple art boards (9 of them). But it also happened when I created a new file with just 1 art board and then imported the job's document palette to that new document. I haven't tested adding other imported document palettes to the original file, but I can do that and check back in. I've uploaded the document palette here. Interestingly, I'm testing picking colours from the artwork I've created now, rather than the swatches in the palette to see if that will cause Designer to hang. We'll see.

Hi, I'm having a similar problem but it occurs when I select a colour from my document colour palette. The pinwheel goes indefinitely. I tried making a document with only 1 art board and it still happened.

I'm working on a Mac with Mojave 10.14.5 on a file with 9 art boards. As of yesterday afternoon every time I choose a colour from my imported document palette in the vector persona I get the coloured spinner and Designer (version 1.8.3) hangs endlessly until I force quit. I've created a new document and copy/pasted onto 1 art board to check if multiple art boards is the problem but it's doing the same thing immediately. Anyone else having this problem or know what I can do to solve it - I have a deadline to meet next week and I'm worried.

@spidermurph I badly want this feature too. I use bitmap textures in my vector work All. The. Time. @Fixx bitmaps as mask isn't quite the same as one click dropping a colour onto a bitmap. Sooo much more faffing about to alter the bitmap in AP first. Please Affinity Serif can you add this ( it was requested back in 2014). It can be done, because imported Illustrator files come in with their bitmap textures and transparency intact.
