Stepaan Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hi! Please, is it possible to change the colour of multiple selected curves at one, BUT relatively to their innitial value? EG some sort of slight colorize effect. I swear, I have seen it before somewhere. There were several dots on the colour wheel moving together. Or was it Affinity Photo?

Dan C Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hi @Stepaan, You might be referring to the HSL adjustment feature? This is available in both Affinity Photo and Designer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepaan Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Thank you. Yes, this would be the feature, but... It work as an effect. What I need is to select several vectors scattered here and there throughout the layers and change them together. The effect layer is therefore unusable.

Simply switch back and forth between Designer and Photo depending on what function you need. (Or, like me in the example below, use the respective personae in Publisher.) Keep in mind that all vector objects will be rasterized on export if affected by an adjustment layer. ade_symbols_partial_sync.mp4 Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that if you have many child objects that you want to partially relink via the Links panel, you may need to double-check if all links are still intact, as seen in my screencast. It's a bit tricky as you can see. Also: Save early, save often! I've managed to crash the app while trying various weird linking and unlinking scenarios… Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepaan Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Well. I found a workaround. I can simply select same fill colour objects and apply a glkobal colout to them. I have to do it one colour by one and also it doesn't apply to gradients. But it's the closest I can get to the desired functionality. But thanx to all of you. I deffinitely learned something new.
