Gewoonolaf Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) When I draw an ellipse, and apply one of the PANTONE swatches, I can't use the opacity slider (see video, it glitches out and keeps jumping back to the maximum value). To be able to adjust the opacity, I have to change the CMYK values slightly (also see video). The same glitch does not occur with stock COLORS swatches. 2023-08-02 13-16-51.mp4 EDIT: Not shown in the video, but the opacity slider in the layer section does work. Some info: I am using Affinity Publisher 2.1.1 (latest version available). Windows 11 The problem happened to me on both existing and new documents. Disabling hardware acceleration does not fix the issue. Edited August 2, 2023 by Gewoonolaf new discovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I’ve been able to replicate the issue in the fly-out on the Context Toolbar as shown in the video. However, I don’t know if the Pantone colours are ‘special’ in some way and shouldn’t be given a non-100% opacity for some reason I’m not aware of. While you are waiting for it to be fixed you could use the Opacity slider in the Colour Panel instead. Gewoonolaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for suggesting a temp workaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 If the Opacity should not be changeable for Pantone colours than that other method might not be available for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
