Saving styles Affinity Photo

[loulou]

I apologize if this was already asked, but I really could not find any topic for my question.

I have from my Adobe time 100's of 100's styles. For text etc. Many purchased, free download, but most of the selfmade.

My favorites ones are the Vintage and lettering styles ,where I created many ,many of them.

Now I would like to do it in Affinity Photo too. Create my fav styles and save them.But honestly I have no idea how.

I watched  one tutorial from here , but somehow it did not work for me. (Safe style from selection) .For some reason I save just rien.

Any help is much appreciated .Thanks in advance.

Created styles are saved into the styles panel, best here into new created and accordingly named styles categories. - In order to create a style ...

1. I personally use a rectangle shape (no fill, no stroke, just the blue its selected outline)
2. Next use the gradient tool on top of the rectangle (from step 1) and set its fill option to bitmap, this will open now a JPG/PNG file selction panel
3. Select a JPG/PNG image and size/place/adjust it inside the rectangle to your needs
4. Make sure the styles panel is visable and you setup a new own category (which is empty so far)
5. Select the now that with an image filled rect shape, perform a right click and choose "Save style from selection"
6. A style should be added into your category in the styles panel

 

Then from the styles panel you can import/export specific style categories.

Good luck!

Thank you so much :)

This week I just clean my External HD from any Adobe stuff which is now useless to me. PS actions, styles, custom shapes etc..AI stuff, Lightroom presets. Now it is time to stock up again for Affinity.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, bagend.

In the Tools panel:

Thanks Walt.

I must admit to some confusion. I was looking for the Gradient Tool in Affinity Designer (Mac), not Photo. I have the iOS version of Photo on my iPad Pro and managed to suss it out on my own after much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Then you need to say that, when you jump into a topic that is about Photo (or, perhaps better, start your own topic).

The Tool has the same appearance (icon) and shortcut (G) in Designer, but there it's known as the Fill Tool. (Which is actually a more accurate name, in my opinion, as it does more than gradients.)

(But you probably figured that out.)
