  1. This is one of my digital paintings with the title Planets & Inhabitants/ Floryon", a landscape on a planet in our galaxy that has developed a humanoid intelligence, a hybrid between plants and animals. I worked with basic Affinity Photo 2 Beta brushes and brushes created by developers both in app. The figures in the foreground are first, modeled by me and placed in the landscape in the conversational pose.

  3. I have the following suggestions for improvement to make working with the Colors palette easier and more efficient: When working professionally, it is usually necessary to use the document color palette, because you usually need a clear color list with the colors that are specifically needed in the document as is the case, for example in most layout programs (such as InDesign and QuarkXPress). Therefore, it would not be bad to be able to set in the preferences that when creating a new document, the document color palette is always automatically selected and displayed as default. In the preferences you could also set the color palette view (e.g. color swatches or list of colors). Furthermore, it would not be bad if this document color palette already contained a few important colors, as in InDesign and QuarkXPress: The three CMYK basic colors, a black which is already set to overprint and a color for registration marks. Until now, unfortunately, you have to create these special colors manually each time. This is very annoying, especially with the black, because you usually need it for the text, which always has to be professionally overprinted. It would also be generally better with the color palettes if you could change some color options, such as color names directly in the color list. Up to now, you always have to open the color dialog window of the respective color first. This could be done like in InDesign, where you click in the list name and move the mouse cursor out a bit. On the other hand, it would not be bad to be able to set some color settings in the color options dialog window, which until now can only be changed via the context menu of the selected color (e.g. spot color/color spot or overprint). In the document color palette you could also add that when you create a new color, you can take one from another palette in the program (e.g. insert a Pantone color into the document palette). I hope that some of these things can be implemented in newer versions. The preset options alone would be a great help when working.
  4. Hello. When I want to change something's color that uses one of my Global Colors it automatically changes color tool to Tint. It annoys me because there is only one slider and nothing else and I must switch it manually to Wheel every time when I want to change color of certain object without changing the Global Color. Can I somehow change it to use automatically Wheel for example? If not - it would be a nice, user friendly function.
  5. i had a pretty intensive course in indesign for the last few months. but since i wasn't a big fan of adobe even before the course, i wanted to transfer the knowledge i gained to affinity publisher. Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that many important functions are not available, or are extremely cumbersome to use. 1. spot colors If you want to make a spot color, you MUST create a new global color. There is no option to convert an existing color to a spot color. 2. overprinting In InDesign you can select an object and mark it as "overprint". In Publisher, you have to set up a swatch and mark the color itself as overprint. 3. delete a global color When you delete a global color, you should be able to replace it with an existing global color. 4. add global colors automatically When adding a vector graphic, the colors it contains should be added directly to the document palette. 5. create palette from document since point 4 does not apply, this function is useful. however, even colors from images are added, so you have to disable it first, otherwise this function is useless again. 6. quality of life A big help would be that when you double click a color in the swatches, the "Global Colors" window (which opens when you create a new global color) opens. This small change would fix point 1. I would love to work 100% with affinity. But these points make my decision difficult.
  6. Hi all, I'm new to the Affinity Suite and am a bit confused about color management (and noticable difference in color rendering compared to Adobe)... Maybe someone can help me out here? I'll attach the relevant data if someone wants to try out him/herself. Also, I'll use Publisher below, but i also checked with Affinity Photo - same story. I have also already printed the shot attached, so i know how it finally did print and the Adobe softproof is nailing it while the Affinity softproof is quite off. Start with opening the template*.idml attached. It's a print template to be used by the print store... First confusing thing here: They mention to do the full workflow in sRGB, but the document itself opens with CMYK in Publisher. Import the jpg attached (the jpg is sRGB). You'll immediately notice the color gamut problem when importing in this CMYK document. Save the file as "CMYK.afpup". Now in document settings, change the color space in this publisher document to sRGB. Save the publisher file under a new name e.g. "sRGB.afpub". Open both publisher documents side by side Now add a soft proof adjustment layer to both files, i have attached the relevant *.icc file, too. Use "Relative colormetric" as intend and "black point compensation". My findings are: When working with the document in CMYK, the color rendering is way off (the pinks are way too blown out. There is significantly more detail and texture in the final print). When adding the softproof layer it corrects the orange/reddish inner part of the blossoms correctly, but the pinks are still wrong. When working with the document in sRGB, the color rendering is at least ok (well it's sRGB, so yes nothing changes). However when i apply the soft proof layer to this file, then the contrast of the full soft proof picture decreases rather significantly (mostly visible around the butterfly). Also something that I don't see in the final print. So either way, things are off. Am i doing something wrong? If i export from either of both files (of course with the softproof layer disabled) to a PDF in print quality, sRGB and import this PDF into Photoshop and use the Soft Proof Function there, it works just perfectly fine (and is extremely close to the final print). Disclaimers: I have of course checked to have the soft proof options aligned. With that, I'm a bit lost how to adapt my workflow... it seems maybe it's best to just use sRGB for the document and don't do any softproofing in Publisher itself but export to PDF and do it in Photoshop then? Rather tedious... Thanks a lot for any help... Best regards! Christian template_42x28.idml SaalDigital_Fotobuch_matt_10-15.icc
  7. Hi, this my first tutorial with the new Affinity Photo V2. A rather bland photo is edited. I remove the haze and realistically enhance colors and contrast. In doing so, I will go into the new features of Affinity Photo V2. I wish you fun. Ciao Jack

  9. Hi, in this tutorial, I show you to solve a typical problem in autumn: You see beautiful autumn colors but the sun is extremely bright, and therefore the colors seemed to burn out, meanwhile the shadows are too dark. I show how to fix this situation. I wish you fun with the video. Ciao Jack
  10. 👋 Hi there, I'm using Affinity Publisher on Mac. I am unable to get colors to display correctly. Under Document Setup, I've gone through every combination of color profiles to see if they change anything. I've attached a screenshot using the following color: #490AF5 The left color in the screenshot demonstrates what I see when I fill any shape I've dragged on to a spread using the Shape Tool. It is the incorrect color. The right color in the screenshot is the correct color. It is what I expect to see in Affinity Publisher, and it is the color I see in other design tools, like Sketch. Interestingly, I can drag an SVG on to the spread...When I change the SVG fill to the above color, the color displayed is accurate (the blue in the right part of the screenshot, not the purple at the left). Thus, in Affinity Publisher, I can use the same HEX code on one canvas, and see two very different colors for the one HEX code with transparency at the default 100%. I'm not saying this is a bug. It may very well be user error. I just can't figure it out. I'll be grateful for any help. 😀 Thanks!
  11. How can I rename an unnamed colorpalette in affinity photo on ipad? And how to save it as a reusable palette? And how do I add the current color to a palette? Where can I find a manual of affinity for ipad? I looked at the tuts which are really helpful — but cannot remember if this is mentioned or where. Can anyone help?
  12. Hi! So i just changed my monitor, i have also installed iCC profile for that monitor. But a strange thing happened to my Affinity Designer, the color got weird. Black becomes red, etc. I've tried doing many things like changing the color profile, deleting the ICC profile, reinstalling the app, but nothing works, the color stays the same, but after exporting the design, the color changes to normal (I sent a comparison picture). And also this only happens in Affinity Designer, does not apply in other design applications. Are there any instructions for this? If there is, please tell me because it concerns my work as a freelancer . Thank you! Best regard, Dwiko
  13. hello my problem is about the color of the imported images. The color changes automatically and I don't know why. I leave the example. How can I solve that ?
  14. Hello, I am trying to use color #4168F7 and when I use it in Designer, it's completely wrong. In Publisher, however it is correct. I am attaching the color it should be versus how it is appearing in Designer. What is happening?
  15. The help section says : "When publishing to PDF, the Honor spot colors option in the Export Settings dialog (File>Export>PDF>More) lets you include spot colors in your output. You can also make the spot colors overprint in the same panel." Does anyone know where that checkbox is gone (to set spot colors as overprint)? Also the help section says: "To make an existing global color overprint: On the Swatches panel, -click the global color swatch's thumbnail, then select Overprint." But there is no way to make a color overprinting. I get a pop menu with e.g. 'Edit fill' but clicking on that option there is again no option to make that color overprint... Am I overlooking something, or is it really that annoying?
  16. Hello there! I found out that whites look off in my secondary monitor which is Benq VZ2250. My device specs are: Windows 11 version 21H2 build 22000.318, Intel i7 - 10510U, NVIDIA GeForce MX350 (with updated drivers) My Monitor: Benq VZ2250 as I mentioned earlier. Here is the issue: The yellow colored rectangle is actually a pure white rectangle. The blue-grey rectangle is actually only blue without any black component. The weird part is. if I move this to my primary display which is my laptop screen, the above magically turns into: If I switch from extend display to secondary display only, this happens: Where even the original whites in color palette also become yellowish. I've tried the same with another laptop and I remember the same happening with it as well. I don't understand the problem here. Is it my secondary monitor? Is it my laptop? or is it because of affinity? It is worthy to note that this wasn't happening in 1.10.x (until the recent release) and 1.9.x I remember this issue happening in my previous laptop until 1.8.x/1.7.x or something, I don't exactly remember. Also, the same happens in all affinity apps but doesn't happen in Adobe suite. How could I solve this? I would appreciate if someone could help me out here . Thanks in advance!
  17. Hi everyone! I have a little problem using color swatches in affinity (across all three programms). I defined some colors and safed those in named swatches. To use the colors across all affinity tool, and to use it in some other software. The strange thing is now, that in some dokuments the colors are differently interprated then in others - also if i use the same color settings for the dokments sometimes i get the correct result and sometimes a different... Can anybody told me why this happens?? What I am not seeing here?? I will attach two designer dokuments, with the same color settings...but different results! Thanks for your help!

  18. Change Affinity Photo brush colors on the fly. In this Affinity Photo tutorial I show in both iPad and desktop how to change your brush colors on the fly. It is number 33 of my Digitally Fearless Powerful Tools of Affinity. https://youtu.be/xh9oMoIxE_w
  19. I created a small little tool to help me build more interesting color palettes, you can download it and try it yourself! I wanted something dynamic where hue, saturation and brightness graduated in ways I would never think of picking by hand. It uses difference blend modes, and in the smaller circular swatches it doubles up on itself - kinda inverting things a second time, giving you two palettes from each to choose. Super funky!

  20. Download the SVG version of the shapes on this web page and open in Affinity Designer. The colours are consistently different from the ones that appear on the web page.
  21. Hello Community, Since a photobook project I'm facing a strange colour problem, after export to PDF. For instance: 1. Open a profiled sRGB JPEG in APub 2. Export it as PDF (e.g. PDF for print as RGB with embedded sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile) 3. Now open the PDF in Acrobat Reader DC (latest version) and compare it with the original JPEG 4. The colours shown in Reader are slightly more saturated, especially the red tones are more saturated and shifted 5. But opening the same PDF in APub, the colours are absolutely the same as in the original JPEG 6. And finally, if opening the PDF in Firefox or even PagePlus X9 the colours are saturated and shifted like in Reader, but opened in Google Chrome the colours perfectly match the original like in APub. I'm pretty confused. Does anybody know what's going on here? Any help is appreciated, thanks! Btw I'm on Windows 10 20H2
  22. Hi There, how on earth do I pick colours from an existing gradient, without just using the eyedropper as close to the edges as possible and hoping i get the 'full' end stop colour, not just one of the in-between shades? Lets say I open a file provided by a client and an object has a gradient of blue to grey. I want to use the same blue and grey to create other objects. I can't use the eyedropper as I might not get the full blue or the full grey if I don't click right at the edge of an object fill. Is there an easy way to 'name all colours' or 'add all colors to swatches' that will know the gradient is basically just comprised of 2 solid colours?
  23. Hi, I design transit maps (either route map or track diagrams). When I place a double track and new double track panel, both doesn't match even I set it to total black in RGB pane. The "X" crossover is the correct black I wanted but the lines refused to make it blacker! I also have another track diagram, an 4 line tracks, this one REFUSES to make it black from light gray! (the black switch east of Oak Street is the correct color) What gives? Am I missing something or is it known bug(s)? Thanks!
  24. Hey guys, im new to affinity photo and i have a big problem. You see i want to recreate this poster (credit : dribble) does somebody know how to make the colors of the background image match? so does the mix of the rounded square and the background looks clean. thanks
  25. Is it possible to access swatches from the context menu as shown below? Of course I mean document palettes should be listed here shouldn’t they, logically? If not, why not? Thanks
