Intuos5 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The opactity changes when I click hold the Paintbucket tool in Affinity Photo 2.2.1, Windows 10.0.19045. If this is intentional, the changes are erratic, because the preview shows a change in fill opacity. Video 2023-10-27 13-37-12.mp4 Steps to reproduce 1. Create a new document 2. Add a pixel layer and make it white 3. Make a selection with a selection tool 4. Activate the Paintbucket tool, select another fill colour, click hold and drag the mouse sideways. 5. Notice the fill tolerance changing erratically and/ or the opacity in the Paintbucket tool changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I believe this is by design, see the Status Bar. When you click with the Flood Fill Tool you get the fill as set by the Context Bar settings. However, when you drag you can change the tolerance via the amount you drag.

Intuos5 Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 It's not displaying the context bar for me atm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The Tolerance setting is in the Context Toolbar, which you can see in your video. However, I can’t see the Status Bar in your video; I don’t know how you recorded the video so I don’t know if you can see it at the bottom of the application window and it just hasn’t been recorded for some reason. I’ve attached an image of what I would expect to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Status Bar aka Hint Line can become hidden if you use the 'Toggle UI' option (shortcut key TAB) once, then manually reenable the view/studio options. To return the Status Bar, simply use the View > Toggle UI (or TAB key shortcut) twice in a row and you should see this return: 2023-10-27 13-27-32.mp4 In regards to the issue you're reporting, as Garry has mentioned this click+drag action is by design, changing the Tolerance for the Flood Fill Tool as you move the cursor. I hope this clears things up Intuos5 and GarryP 2 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Intuos5 Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 It's been this way since I updated Photo, must be a glitch. Sorry for the false report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
