Set default palette Affinity Designer


Recommended Posts

Hi, everyone,

I try to be fast and clear.

I work in a shop and we print stickers, I use affinity designer usually to assign the cutcontour to the files to be cut.

I would like to assign by default the cutcontour palette I made (CUTCONTOUR.PNG)

but everytime I load the software, or I open a new file,

the palette by default is the one you can see on the attach (called DEFAULT.PNG)

I know there is a way to set default palette on the different color modes (Rgb, cmyk, ecc)

but to me it doesn't work.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance,

have a nice day :)

I think this is not a bug per se, it's just "as designed" at this point...

But, I too, want the app to: 

  • A) preset a custom colour palette, the app should start a new document with (and pre-define it in the templates)
  • B) have the app prioritize an existing document palette (which was saved in the AfDesigner/AfPub file)

 

Use cases would be:
(A) Starting a new screen design (Banner/Website/Icon) it uses MY predefined palette of (global)RGB colours, maybe called, say "Webdesign RGB".
(A) Next, when creating a business card for my client XY, I choose the corresponding template and change the colour palette to my predefined "Client (XY) CMYK" 

(B) And every time I re-open these documents, the right palette in the swatches panel is already pre-selected so I can work right away.
