HZhen Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I've recently made a switch from Adobe to affinity but noticed big inconvenient differences when it comes to importing vectors/curves. I am struggling to find ways to "fill/paint" different geometries in affinity designer except there is no live paint tool or option available that will allow me to fill different geometries with specific swatches or colors. Even if I recreate closed geometries and reimport them, the only way I can fill geometries is be rasterizing them in affinity photo and brining it back to affinity designer. There is too much back and fourth for a simple live paint fill and the quality of this is not as great when vectors becomes rasterized for this to happen. On top of this, the option to create a clipping mask is a multistep process compared to that of adobe's single step for clipping mask and live paint options. I have been using adobe for almost 9 years now and find some functions in affinity incredibly difficult to access the program in ways I have done so in others. Out of the three programs affinity has under photo, designer and publisher, affinity designer is the least adaptable version I've encountered.

sfriedberg Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 @HZhenCan you give some examples (perhaps a small sample Affinity file) with the kind of "geometries" you want to fill? I have never had a moment's trouble filling shapes in Designer, using Designer's tools without jumping into Photo, so you are trying to do something I don't understand. Can you show how/why the stroke/fill colors on curves (via the Swatches panel) or the Fill Tool (via the swatch/color/gradient patch on the context toolbar) are not behaving the way you want?

uneMule Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Bonjour @HZhen il n'y a pas comme dans illustrator un mode de peinture dynamique. Mais les tracés sont gérés globalement comme dans illustrator. Chaque application ayant ses particularités. There is no dynamic painting mode like in illustrator. But the paths are managed globally as in illustrator. Each application has its own particularities. 2022-12-08 22-53-49.mp4 Fichier en pièce jointe. exemple.zip Quote Toujours pas !Windows 10 Pro 21H2 - Intel Core i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz - 16 Gb Ram - GeForce GT 650M - Intel HD 4000 Affinity Photo | Affinity Designer | Affinity Publisher | 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
