Color Replacement Brush

[grayhorse]

I just downloaded the trial for Affinity Photo and using the M1 MacBook Pro , the color replacement tool isn't working if I use an existing png or try to create a new file in Affinity.  Is that available in the trial or are there any issues using the M1?  When I select the color and then click the image nothing happens.  Any advice is greatly appreciated, was hoping to buy this but not spending the money if this won't work.

The trial works just like the retail version, only it is limited in time.
Correct layer in Layers panel is selected? Pixel layer, not Image layer?

Also, please make sure you understand how the Color Replacement Brush Tool is supposed to work. It does not work like many users seem to expect it would, and it might simply be doing something you don't expect or recognize.

Which, as I (among others) have mentioned many times, is why it should have been named the Hue Replacement Tool.

Thanks both for the feedback, yes definitely not what I am used to but I was able to figure something that will work for what i needed.  Use the selection brush and select all the parts needed, then select the color , then select Layer -> New Fill Layer, then Select -> Deselect

Thanks

I am having the same problem with color replacement brush tool. As much as I can see from this YouTube tutorial, the color replacement brush tool should replace the target color with exact primary color chosen, not just hue. It is a mystery to me why it does not work for me as tutorial shows. Spent hours of trying with no luck.
I am currently using the Affinity Photo v2.3

If the tool replaced the target colour with a single colour instead of a range of colours sharing the same hue, you’d lose all the shading and the result would be completely flat.

The tutorial works because of the colors it's using. It would not necessarily work for other colors.
