Azure Sea Posted April 8, 2022 Posted April 8, 2022 I can’t seem to find the option to create a “reflected” gradient in Affinity Designer. The only available gradient types in Affinity Designer are Solid Linear Elliptical Radial Conical Bitmap I really hope having to manually create a reflected gradient isn’t the only workaround!

NotMyFault Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Hi, currently not available as standard functionality. You would need to use workarounds to manually create this effect. create rectangular shape of half the size Duplicate linked (Photo) or create symbol (Designer) Rotate copy and align at intended starting point of gradient create gradient in one rectangle nest both rectangles to original shape to avoid a visible seam at the starting node, the rectangle should overlap by 1-2 px. Use move tool / transform panel after resizing to ensure the overlap stays >= 1px.

2ddpainter Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Maybe i miss something ? Why not set another Controlpoint in the Gradient ? Or for more accurate Color Gradients. Select the Filltool and open Gradient Options in the Contex Toolbar. Select a Controlpoint and play with "Position" and "Midpoint" and Insert, Copy and Delete. Quote
