[Accidentally deleted color pallets]

Is there a way to restore deleted default color pallets in Affinity Design? When I was messing around with creating a color pallet for a document, I deleted the color pallet I was working on two or three times and started over. I didn't realize that I had added on to default color pallets. When I deleted my work, I deleted the defaults. All I have left are the Pantone pallets.

 

Thanks.

[Fill tool not working correctly]

Yesterday, my computer got some new updates from Windows. Now I'm experiencing some problems. I'm not sure if they are related to the updates or just bugs in the software. I started noticing last night that the flood fill tool in affinity designer was working weird. Instead of changing the color of one part of my image, when I clicked on a new color, it changed the entire image to different shades and tones of that color. That worked off and on. Sometimes I could get it to work normally, and sometimes it did the weird tone thing. This afternoon, I tried to print from Affinity without exporting the document to any format. Affinity shut down. I tried again. Same thing. I exported the file to a pdf, and all of the sudden my computer will no longer recognize my printer. I don't know if that is from the update or from Affinity. Back to the flood tool. Now it won't do anything. It won't change the colors of my image at all. It briefly changed the weird tones and shades, and now it won't do anything. (I have restarted my computer several times trying to get the printer to work again.) Does anyone know of any glitches going on related to Windows 10 updates, or is there a known glitch with the fill tool? I've used it many times. 

 

Thanks for your help.

I do have Disney Circle. I'll check there. Thanks. I can watch vimeo on my phone with no problem.

 

[I created a preset, but where did it go?]

Thank you! That's exactly the help I was looking for with both questions. 

[I created a preset, but where did it go?]

I'm starting the trial version of affinity photo. I noticed that the shadows/highlights adjustment resets every time I start a new document, so I created a preset of the adjustment that I wanted to use on several documents. The only problem is that I can't figure out where to find the preset. I expected a drop down menu when I opened up the shadows/highlight adjustment the next time, but the only option was to create a new preset. Then I thought my preset might be listed in the adjustments menu. Nope. Where can I find it? 

 

Another great option to help with the problem would be the ability to copy a layer style from the layers panel and then apply it to a different layer. Maybe this is already possible (I hope) and it just doesn't work the way that I am used to doing it.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you sure it's your computer, rather than just your browser, that thinks Vimeo is unsafe? What is your operating system? What browser(s) and security software do you use?

 

I use windows 10, Chrome,  and AVG Antivirus. I also have Disney Circle (an internet filter) in my home, but it tells me when it is blocking something and will allow me to unblock it. Here's the message I get from Firefox: The owner of vimeo.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

I bet I just needed to scroll down! How funny! Thank you! I thought I was going crazy.

I know this sounds weird, but I'm having a really difficult time finding out how to purchase Affinity Designer. I tried the trial version last week, and I really like it. Now I want to buy it. I went to this website: https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/, and I feel like I'm just clicking around in circles getting back to the same screen over and over. I remember that I found the trial by googling it, not by finding the link in the website. This is a really great program, but I'm having a hard time navigating the website. Am I on the wrong site? It seems like such a good program would have a website that is more informative. I would think the link to buy it would be really obvious.

 

Also, my computer blocks links to vimeo, so I can't watch the tutorials. It thinks vimeo is unsafe. I don't know much about vimeo. I see tutorials on youtube, so I've been using them. Wish I could get to the others, though.

[Showing objects dragged off the cavas]

Thank you, Alfred. I'm using Affinity Designer, and that was exactly the help I needed. I put "Clip to Canvas" in the help menu search bar and figured out how to turn it off. I was really hopeful that this program would be a good replacement for Illustrator (because I can't afford to pay for the subscription for the two programs I need). Without this feature, it just wasn't going to work for me. Things are looking up! So far, so good. Thanks for your help. 

[Showing objects dragged off the cavas]

I'm using the trial version of Affinity. One of my favorite features of the design program I am used to using is the ability to drag objects off the screen, but still be able to see and manipulate them. It would take a long time to explain why I use the feature, but I use it a ton. So far, I can't see a way to do that in Affinity. Is it possible? Do I need to switch modes or something?
