Wills Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I'm still new to Affinity so I'm sure this has been asked and answered but I'm not sure what to search. I drew a circle using a brush, which created the image on a pixel layer. I would now like to change the color of this circle. The only place or way I've found to do this is to do a color overlay, which doesn't really change the color of the item. Is there a better way to do this? And what should I be searching for in the help to find the answer? Thank you, Wills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David in Яuislip Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Try placing a fill layer above and do Arrange/Move inside You can use a Recolur layer but that's HSL Wills and telemax 2 Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Color Overlay Effect works charming with a pixel layer if you set the effect's opacity ≠ 0 % Wills and telemax 2 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telemax Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 A few more options. For the second and third, the non-destructive method is used, so you can change the color or gradient of the child (nested) object, if necessary, at any time.
