Dustin.J Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hello, I was messing around with Affinity Photo the other night and accidentally found a feature that I cannot find now. I was in the Color window and I believe I double clicked on the selected color and a window popped up PREVIEWING color chords. It could have just been showing me near shades to the selected color, but i definitely remember seeing "+1" and "+2" labeling corresponding shades with the actual color displayed. I was able to replicate popping this window up a couple of times before I shut down for the night, but since then have not been able to get this to happen again. I have no problem making color chords the normal way, populating in the swatch panel, but Id rather being able to see the colors before committing swatch space. So did I stumble across a little know feature, or did I fall into the matrix somehow? Thank you for your time, Dustin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepr Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Sounds like you were looking at the Colour Chooser when working with a RGBA/32 document. The numbered swatches are for applying exposure adjustment to the colour. The colour controls when in RGBA/32 mode have been partly broken for years, so expect initial confusion.

Dustin.J Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 You were correct Anon2. I was in RGB/32(HDR) with one document which allowed this feature, another document was in RGB/16 which did not allow the same thing to happen.
