Joachim_L Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 1. Create one or two global colours. 2. Create an element with a gradient using the global colour(s) from step 1. 3. Edit global colour(s) and change the colour value(s). Result: No change in the gradient. Or am I mistaken here? Changing a global should affect all elements this global colour is assigned to. This is also not working in the retail version and I assume not working in the complete Affinity range. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed
carl123 Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 It works fine here. Can you video how you are trying to do this?

I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
Joachim_L Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 Sorry, I can't make a video. But I attached APu beta file here. What I did was simply editing the global colour HKS 7. global-colour-gradient.afpub ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed
carl123 Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Your document looks like it is using global spot colours which I don't use Have you tested using just normal colours? If it is just a problem with spot colours you will need someone else to follow up on this for you To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Joachim_L Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 Thanks for looking into this. It is also not working for the colour Schrift 80% Schwarz. Change the starting colour of the gradient to something else and try now to change Schrift 80% Schwarz. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed

WKansepa Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Try the following steps: Under Swatches panel, click on Add Document Palette. Rename (optional) your new palette Now click on your colour The colour will show in the swatches panel Select "Add current colour to palette as a global colour" icon from the swatches panel Now edit the swatch to taste This should do the trick. I also noticed that you haven't applied the swatch to your gradient that's why it's not changing colour when you edit… Edited January 8, 2020 by william
Joachim_L Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 I added already a document palette, made it default for CMYK and I used definitely the swatches with the gradient. You can't see if a swatch is assigned to the gradient, because the colour is not selected in the Swatches panel. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed
WKansepa Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 I have noticed that if you edit and apply the colour swatch to your gradient using the gradient panel, any edits that you do to the swatch will not reflect on the gradient. The results are different though if you highlight the orange colour stop on the gradient and pick your colour directly from the swatches panel (not using the gradient panel). Any edits to the swatch will reflect on the gradient. Looks like a bug. Serif should look into this inconsistency. Joachim_L and nodeus 1 1
