phoenixart Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Hi there, Any chance the gradient tool can see some improvement? This probably has been asked a few times already, but I find myself really spending a lot of extra time with the gradient tool, and I wish it would be a bit more effortless to use. A simple example in PS working on a mask layer. It's like kind of painting with the gradient tool: 2021-08-18 17-38-03.mp4 Doing the same thing is simply not possible in Affinity Photo, plus, every time I access the gradient tool all the previous settings are gone, which leads to more extra time: 2021-08-18 17-42-09.mp4 I'm using Affinity Photo 1.9.2.1035 IPv6 and eiketre 2 Quote Piero Desopo Direction, Design <http://phoenixart.com> Photography <http://www.pierodesopo.com> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixart Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Thanks @Wosven I thought there had to be more threads on the same topic. I see the one you linked started two years ago, which makes me think this may not happen, not soon at least.

eiketre Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I have all the tools from Affinity and they are fantastic. However i am still using Photoshop for my 2d game art due the gradient tool. In photoshop i just drag a gradient line and paint on multiple times very quickly. There must be a way for Affinity to solve or implement a simmilar feature?

Different need about this tool: Also, if the gradient tool could pick Foreground and Background/Stroke colors as default, it could be handy to create easily gradients/fills It would help in this situation too: PaulEC and Alfred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 And some other ones: If the Gradient Map Adjustement Layer and the Gradient Overlay Effect could pick gradients from the ones saved in the Swatches... Old Bruce and IPv6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eiketre Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Yes i see it has been discussed earlier. I tried studio and designer where u can add multiple, but i have to stick with photshop until i can do what phoenixart shows in the video above. I use it all the time, so i have to stick with ps. I hope the devs. reads the comments and decide to make a similar tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still try to use Affinity as much as I can, though. In fact, that's what I use most of the time, at least when I know I can take it slowly. That said, I'm eager to see how much 1.10 has improved once the new fix will be available.
