big smile Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Affinity on MacOs lets you create system wide palettes. These are handled via the Apple Color Picker that is built in to MacOs. Where are these palettes saved so I can copy and transfer them to a different computer? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the online guides I found only talked about the system one. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify slightly, note that users cannot create system wide *.clr pallets (the ones stored in System/Library/Colors/) only per user custom ones. IOW, each user account on the Mac can have its own set of custom *.clr pallets, which for that user will be available in any app that supports *.clr pallets. So if either of your Macs have more than one user account, you may not get the custom pallets you expect when copying from one Mac to the other. big smile 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cartoonjosh Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Hello, I have a similar question. Time ago I created some palettes for a project with Affinity Photo. I opened the project today and I chose "Import Document Palette", but I could not locate the previously saved palettes anywhere. Could this be because Mac OS Ventura has moved the location of things?

For Import Palette you will have previously saved the palette using Export Palette (or by downloading a .afpalette file from the network), and you must navigate to wherever you previously saved it.
