Louise Cloutier Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I've chosen a black and white stock photo specifically because I want to add one word in bright red. But as I work on this image, I've discovered that Affinity Designer will only give me grayscale options for text in this image. I've tried to copy and paste the red letters in from another document, I've fiddled around with various controls. But nothing lets me add that one word in red. I'm sure there's an easy way to do this, I've tried to google it. But all I can find is instructions on how to change everything in the image from grayscale to colors. Open to suggestions.

Patrick B Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Is the document colour profile set to Grey? It will need to be RGB, or CMYK, depending on your use, in order to incorporate any colours. On Mac, the option is under Document > Convert Format / ICC Profile… > Colour Format.

Louise Cloutier Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 I've looked at that, but the only color settings it's letting me choose are variations on grayscale. (I'm on Windows) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm on Windows) You need to convert the color format to RGB or CMYK. In Designer that will be in Document Setup.

Louise Cloutier Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Thanks! I could have sworn I had already tried that and it didn't work. But now it did. Problem solved. 🙂 walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
