Hey Folks, I looked at the roadmap and saw "Pantone, Spot and Registration colours" as planned. But is there actually any option or workaround for defining/using spot colors (prefered own mixed CMYK spots or HKS)?! Thanks :)

Yes, I know - but I asked for the easiest and fastest way ;) but I think at this moment there is only a country road and noch Highway for this. But the Affinity-Team does a very good job and the roadmap looks great - so time may solve this. As long rotating and making own guides for exact angles may good enough :) Thanks!

Hey A_B_C, thanks - I know what you mean - but you're right, I'm looking for a more detailed possibility to do this -> mathematically definite ... Now doing it your way with self defined guidelines in pre defined angles for optical but correct alignment. Mmmmh, how about the possibility of rotating true guidelines for a future release, and not only horizonal and vertical ones? Just like I can do it with simple lines. -_-

Same problem here (Englisch localisation) - but resetting (only) the brushes restores them back to normal :) . Good tip with Ctrl key - but strange that they disapeared - I didn't changed anything regarding the brushes in the latest beta.

Hi there again, due there is no zigzag-tool I'm wondering what is the fastest and of course easiest way to do a zigzag line. For one line I used two guidlines and the pen tool with shift for 45 degree angels. Works ok, but if I want smaller or wider angels which are identical - how can I realize this to be best?

Hey Guys, same here as bandit69. I also switched back to english. But I prefer an language option in the app prefs for easy switching -> good to show mates and friends which won't use an english software :)

Without grouping it doesn't work for me in the latest beta, but grouped it is perfect. Thanks! :)

Thanks for the tipps. I loaded the beta and yes - the colour swatches do as they should - yip LIKE IT! :) And the swatches as a list - totally overlooked it - oh man, that's it! Thanks again guys :) Markus

Hi there, I have an CMYK-dokument an tried to make my own swatch palette for the most used colours. Easy to do but strange behavior. I used the Colour Chooser and mixed my "Poisengreen" with 60C100Y and dropped it to the swatches and named it. Then I mixed another one "Grasgreen" with 70C100Y - I saw a little difference in the Colour Chooser but no difference in the swatch I added to my "Poisengreen". Ok, nearly the same colour - give "Green" with 100C100Y a chance. Again in the Colour Chooser it looks nearly like what I expected, but the swatch didn't recognize it if I want to add it. Also if I mix colours in the Colour Chooser the colour preview in the box after the CMYK sliders updates as it should. The preview in the circle of the swatches jumps and it looks like it uses a fixed colour palette for displaying (like the Aplle crayon - you see the difference in the screenshot) instead of live update as with the sliders. So I had 3 greens with different values but the same look in my swatches. If I use a totally different colour it updates, but again the colours in the swatches don't match exaktly what is displayed in the sliders. Any idea what can I do to solve this, it is time consuming to check for the values of a swatch by likewise colours :( Thanks Markus PS: Colour wishlist - it should be possible to sort swatches (a later added green will be anywhere but not on with the others) - it should be possible to display the swatches among each other followed by it's name/value
