wrong values for gradient


Recommended Posts

If I adjust the values in the gradient popup then the colours will be corrected, this makes me want to know if the object was created in the beta or if it is an older file.

Note how the colour appears to be the same pale colour no matter which stop I choose until I change the value.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

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

I don't know which release I've used but i's an old release for sure. It's in my Contents browser.

I use AD since alpha release…

We can adjust the gradient in the pop-up, you're right.

Hi guys, just as an update, there's nothing wrong with that colour! But I do agree it's a bit confusing as to why you're seeing what you're seeing! ;) 

You've got a colour, which is correctly indicated in the colour panel, but what you've not got shown there is that you've chosen a '30% tint' of that colour (in the colour studio, select the hamburger menu at the top right and choose 'Tint' to show the control). When you change the colour to a new one, even the same value, it'll pop back to being the 100% tint version, hence the sudden change back to what you expected to see... I think we could do with showing it's a tint in the main colour chooser so that it makes this more obvious! ;)

Thanks,
Matt

It's also confusing because the control node is displaying the base color, not the selected tint. Perhaps that's another area for improvement?

A Freudian slip almost revealing why an UX is needed in Nottingham. "I", "Myself".

  • Computer-, operating system- and software agnostic; I am a result oriented professional. Look for a fanboy somewhere else.
