solsticephoto Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Newbie to the forum but somewhat experienced in post processing. Using the gradient tool in Affinity Photo to create masks and blends and each time I use the tool it resets the end colors to white and mid-tone grey. I can reset the colors to what I want (white, black) with no problem but would like to know if there is a way to have my settings recorded so I would not have to reset the colors each time I use the tool. Hopefully I am missing something simple ? Quote
firstdefence Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 As far as I am aware there is no way to set a gradient created as the default so it will always default to white and grey. You can have the swatches window open and with the gradient tool selected choose a gradient so in your case create a gradient and save it to a swatch collection and then you have the option to fast select any gradient you want.

solsticephoto Posted April 7, 2020 Author Posted April 7, 2020 Thanks for the help and the workaround. Not quite what I was hoping for but it will cut down on the steps I was using. Given that I am trying to use the gradient as a mask, having an end point of black would be preferred. Aammppaa 1 Quote
