Obligatory outline ?

[Nadar 19]

Hi and happy new year everyone ! 😉

When I select a text in Affinity Photo and change the color only the contour (outline) changes of color.

Yet in the fx layers the outline is not selected.

Could someone help me ?

Thank you.

Make sure you have the correct swatch on top in the Colour Studio.

Fill:

Thanks Alfred 😉

I already tried that : it does not work 😪

I’m sorry to hear that, Nadar! Perhaps I’ve misunderstood what the problem is.

The point is what is the way to change the color of a text in AP ?

And now an issue with the outline…

On the picture you can see there is a blue text with a white border.

I have 2 colors in the front and in the back : little circles in color

One Blue and one white

If I change,  putting the blue in front and the white behind and inversely it does not change anything.

How could I reverse it : a white text and a blue border ?

No, you are just changing the 'active' colour from outline to fill. You need to change the colour manually to apply a new colour as described above. 🙂

No, there’s no need to change each colour manually. Just swipe across from one swatch to the other.  (Swiping from right to left sometimes works for me, but swiping from left to right seems to work more consistently.)

Isn't swiping a 'manual' action. 🤔

Seriously though, initially, tapping the circles changed foreground to background selection and vice versa, but not the colour.🤔🤔

After several failed attempts to change colour, it suddenly started to work as you described. I realised I had started swiping across them.  It’s the 'swiping' action. 👏

Tapping the circle doesn’t change the fill colour you actually have to manually swipe across the circles (as you already stated).😬😬

I removed my earlier post as in hindsight I don’t think it was helpful.

Thank you to both of you 👏
