where is color picker in affinity designer?

[urbanbabybonnets]

Hi!  I'm sorry if this is super-obvious and I am missing it, but in AI, I used to use a little dropper like thing to choose color from one part of the image/document and then be able to work with it elsewhere.  I can't seem to locate any droppers that actually do anything.  I can see one next to a circle of color in my palette, but when i click on it nothing happens.  Can you post a screen shot of where the picker is and perhaps a link to how to use/activate it?  THank you!

Hi Colette,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

It's in the Colour palette. You have to drag it to the canvas to pick the colour. Then click on the small well near it to make it the active colour or apply it to a selected shape/path.

Thank you!  So easy!  And it works great, too!  I love the control of being able to select a specific pixel.  AWESOME!

And why is she hiding there? Why not make it a true standard tool;-)?

agreed... or make a mention in the user guide-- I went there first, couldn't find instructions.  of course, the forum is wonderful.  :-)

Thank you for the tip. I've entered the forum today in order to find this solution and it works quite well. Thanks. I hope to use affinity designer a lot in future. Best Regards, Boris
