Greycat Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I'm currently using Affinity Photo on the 10 Day Trial and found the Youtube Video about selecting colours from any photo to map onto a different image to colour grade it. The first problem comes when I try to alter the swatch to three colours instead of five - Affinity just shuts down. If I leave it at five, then use a gradient map on my image, the colour picker doesn't work. I click on red for the shadows, click on the colour picker - and nothing happens. I am using a MAC. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greycat Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Aha! Thank you. A bit of a learning curve at the moment! I am still having issues with Affinity shutting down if I try to set the number of colours to 3 instead of 5, but the picker mystery is solver :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 There appears to be several reports of this happening but none appear to have solid "that fixed it" solutions. Have you tried using the 1.8.0 beta version to see if the same thing happens? The beta version installs alongside the retail version currently 1.7.3 and will not affect it. Also which OS X are you on? Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
