How to apply color to Rectangular Marquee Tool


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have recently converted from Photoshop to Affinity Photo, can anyone help me on the below query?

In Photoshop ->Rectangular Marquee Tool->Edit->Stroke-->Choose width & color and if we hit OK selected color will be applied on the Marquee Tool.

I am not able to find the above options in Affinity Photo? can anyone help me?

Regards

Lenin Christopher

  1. Make a pixel layer if you want the stroke to be separate
  2. Make a rectangular marquee,  
  3. Go to Select > Outline… adjust the width
  4. Use the flood fill tool to fill in that outline with a colour of your choosing.

An alternative method would be to use a shape with no fill and a stroke, this enables adjustments at a later date.

In Affinity Photo, there is a full-fledged work with the vector. Use vector shapes to do this.

is it possible to import sequence images?

Yes but you cannot export a movie or an animated GIF or any other kind of motion. Plus they would have to be a format that Affinity recognizes .gif, .tiff, .png etc. not a proprietary format from some other third party software.

So I think the answer would be more of a No.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
