  1. In Affinity Designer is there a color dropper? I use SIP to create palettes and I want to add these colors to the AD swatch panel - how do I do that? If I use an external source such as Kuler, how can I quickly get a color from a web page or external source into Affinity Designer?
  2. Affinity Designer on PC, Beta, 1.5.0.15. Under: View --> Grid and Axis Manager --> Advanced (or Basic) When choosing the color for the Subdivision Lines, the color slider still shows the color for the Grid Lines. I have attached an image.
  3. I suggested this in the Designer Mac Beta Thread but I also wanted to post it here in the Features Requests as it is technically a request. I would like to see the ability to drag and drop colour swatches from the Colour Palette on to objects in Designer. I would also like to be able to drag and drop objects into the colour palette and have a swatch made of the same colour. Thanks, Hokusai
  4. Hi, In the develop persona there is a tool called overlay gradient tool. Does this tool not exist in photo persona? The reason I am asking is because some of my scans are in monochrome (no RGB), and the develop persona is not able to handle none RGB files. Which reminds me... is it possible to converse color profiles? Cheers Peter
  5. I want to assign a particular color to a variable because this one color is used in several/many elements in my design. I would like to be able to point the same variable to a different color and then have all the related elements of my design change accordingly. This would entail me assigning a stroke/fill to a variable value when I apply it in my design - as opposed to just assigning it (manually) to a particular color. Thanks.
  6. Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post here. As a graphic designer with more than 15 years of experience and someone who's been looking for an alternative to Adobe products, I've been testing Affinity Designer Beta for a while and I'm really amazed what can be achieved with such great input from users and by developers who listen! Right now I use Affinity Designer Beta along with Adobe Illustrator, testing, comparing, trying to achieve similar goals using both. It is great that developers from Affinity are not trying to make a copy of Adobe products and finding mostly better solutions with users in mind, but there are times, when I'm really in a hurry and I'm forced to do certain things in Illustrator. There are things that slowing me down A LOT in Designer, and the major one is colour picking. Right now I just cannot find any other way then: - selecting an object - moving cursor to the top right corner - grabbing a colour picker - choosing a colour - moving cursor to the top right corner again - and then finally selecting it. All this takes far too much time for such simple operation, so I gave it a lot of thought, and came up with something that I believe will work great. First of all, what's needed is a one button shortcut for the Colour Picker tool like the "i" in Illustrator, and then we can use the loupe from Designer to create even better experience and this is how it could look like: - select Colour Picker tool via one button shortcut, then - pick a colour from any object by just clicking on it - OR - HOLD on any object for 2 seconds to change the cursor to LOUPE for more precise colour selection! - boom! And now the most obvious thing - if you don't have any object selected, this action will just choose a colour which will be selected when new object is created, but when you DO have an object selected, this action will APPLY the colour you've just chosen to the already selected object. Advantages: much fewer moves and clicks, less distracting and keeps you focused on what you're currently working on, intuitive and when gives more control by using loupe for precise colour selection without any additional clicks or moves. All this would speed up everything tremendously! If this or something similar has been already discussed, or if there is any solution to that which is already implemented and I simply don't know about it, please let me know. I wonder what you all think about it! Best Regards!!!
  7. It would be a very useful feature to copy the features of a text , color type, size and color contour like Corel Draw funcion.
  8. When, in the past, I would photograph artwork I would shoot a kodak patch sheet and then set white point in Lightroom by clicking a known neutral patch. How would I do the same thing in APhoto? White point panel has picker but how to use in same fashion as Lightroom so colors are reset based on known neutral?
  9. Having a search box included in the standard color library panels is fantastic, but when editing a color's fill (for instance, replacing a pantone global color with another pantone color) is quite tedious without the search being included in that second overlaying library panel. Any chance it could be included there as well? :) It would also be really nice if the currently active color was highlighted or outlined slightly in some way.
  10. You guys should create a tutorial on how to match the color and tone of any photo because I am completely lost on how to do this on affinity. I can only find videos on how to do this for photoshop which aren't much help. Thanks!
  11. Hello. I believe I've encountered a bug with the Color Chooser. After selecting a new color via the Color Chooser window, the primary and/or secondary swatch selectors in the Color panel update with the new color, but don't appear to apply the color to the tool, which uses the original color. Steps to reproduce (v1.5.0.6): 1. Original color (in this case, red (H: 0, S: 100, L: 50)); (screenshot below, 1.png) 2. Select new color in Color Chooser window (in this case, black (H: 0, S: 0, L: 0)); (screenshot below, 2.png) 3. Original color still being used, despite new color being displayed in active swatch; (screenshot below, 3.png) EDIT: this bug appears when choosing a color by entering values manually. Color selection works correctly when dragging to select color in the Color Chooser, changing the color via the Color Picker or within the Color Panel itself.
  12. Because when you import an image, the color is lifeless, dull?
  13. Hey there. I've been using the Mac version of Affinity Designer for a while and feel pretty comfortable with basic things. One thing I've noticed that's handy is the ability to choose recent colors under the swatches tab. I'm also using the Beta for Windows on my SP3 and so far - on first beta and now the updated beta - my recent colors aren't populating. Is this a bug that needs to be worked out? Or a setting that I need to fix? Just wondering. Thank you!
  14. Affinity, is not with the actual color, how to solve this
  15. Good evening everyone! I'd like to propose the following feature: "Derived colors" --> "Derived color is a color that dynamically depends on another color (a Global Color in Affinity case). It is derived from the parent color using some of the built-in color operations" • change opacity • change hue • change brightness • change saturation • apply shadow • apply highlight • copy You can watch Derived Color in action in a software like PaintCode here on YouTube I hope you'll agree how great and efficient for productivity this is :) This concept was far before used into the amazing Opacity.app which still yet, provide some unbeaten feature anywhere else. Cheers,
  16. I have a situation where the bricks in this image are discolored. The image needs to consistent and match the darker portion. This is a large wall and I need the most effective and accurate way to accomplish this. Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
  17. Add color to The Macintosh OS X Color Picker to be used in other apps? How can I do this?
  18. Hi. I've attached a picture. The background rectangle is set to black, but appears as dark grey when I use a black glow on the photo. I want the black glow of the edge of the photo to disappear seamlessly into the black rectangular background. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
  19. I've been trying to use Affinity Designer on my latest web project and I've hit a snag that isn't a problem with Sketch or Photoshop. I've got a document with art that uses a specific gold color (#f1b82d). It's my university's brand color. I need my art to have that exact color build in order to match all the other design elements of my site. When I export the art as a PNG, the resulting file has a different color build and doesn't match. I think it has to do with color profiles being set, but when I uncheck that option in the export palette I get a different color shift. How can I export art as a PNG that has the exact color build as in the edit mode? I've attached some examples and my Affinity Designer document. I hope this is a simple thing I'm missing. Thanks! social icons.afdesign
  20. Hi, Could i request a shortcut to be added to reset the color swatch back to Black & White like it is in PS. The shortcut for that is D. If we have one already can you please let me know what it is? :) Thanks!
  21. The color picker is one of the most annoying things. It creates so much friction and headache. Picking 6-7 colors for a gradient turns anyone into an angry hulk... *Rrrr* Ideally there should be one permanently available color picker, that appears at any time when holding one single hot key. It should works for any tool and mode at any time. When picking a color it sets the color instantly and direct (without zigzag click and dragging) to 1.) the front paint color, 2.) when a gradient point is selected the selected gradient point color, 3.) when the last click was on the fill color of an object it set these fill color, and 4.) when the last selection was on the contour color, then it sets the contour color, etc. When the last action was drawing an object, then it sets the color of that object, etc, etc. - You see the pattern. - It set the paint color. And when an object was selected it sets the main (mostly fill) color of the active object. When the last click was on an different color attribute (outline, gradient point) then it set this. So it sets the color of the last activated thing. Plus the paint color. It's the fall back when nothing is active or selected. And i've picked the color before i wanted to create something new. Let's call it the global smart instant color picker. (...from outer space) But the current color picker is a no-go.
  22. So I have a text and I've colored it in white. But I would like to have the background, which surrounds the text, in a different color. How can I get that? Thanks in advance. /Kata
  23. With a dark background color behind a text box sometimes it is almost impossible to find the cursor. Would it be possible to add an option for a lighter or darker color to the cursor to solve this? Thanks.
  24. Is there any way to filter through layers, or could this be possible in the future? The layers panel is good, but perhaps could be even better. For example: Sometimes using live trace in Illustrator produces hundreds of layers and doesn't group them. Say you have a black and white patterned image. The black and white layers will be mixed up together. But say I only want to change the color of white layers, or to hide them, I have to go through the mixed up layers one by one. I would love to be able to filter layers somehow. By color would seem one possibility. The media assets tool Pixave has something like this (it allows you to look for assets in your library by color). Could something similar be brought into AD?
  25. Hi everyone! I was wondering if there was a way to remove certain colors from my pictures? However, unlike other posts, the color is a block of color that I need removed, but are rather hues that I need erased. I've attached the image as an example, where the clownfish's midsection has a greenish hue, making him look sickly! I've tried Channel Mixers, Selective Colors, and Dodge/Sponge but none of them look good. I also can't select just the part that's green using the Free Select Tools because whenever I apply an effect to it, the boundary between the selected and non-selected portions all look really weird. Any suggestions?
