Use image as tile fill/swatch on designer?

[bahbua]

Hi There,

 

I have just bought Affinity Designer and am just learning to use the tools. I have previously used Illustrator and am finding the transition relatively straightforward and really like the programme.

 

One thing I used to be able to do in illustrator was to drag and drop an image into the swatches tab and then use that image as a tile fill to create prints/patterns (useful when designing clothing). I also used clipping masks for similar effect. Do either of these functions exist in designer or would I need to purchase Photo as well?

 

Many thanks

Hi bahbua

Welcome to the forum! :)

It isn't possible for you to put your own image in the swatches tab specifically, but you may find this thread helpful.
