Change Pen Tool Guide Color in Affinity Photo


Recommended Posts

Hello all, does anyone know if it is possible to change the color of the Pen tool guide lines to any other color other than blue? (Please see picture attached if you're confused on what I mean). I tend to edit pictures of products and sometimes the blue lines blend in with blue objects. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you have a stroke defined with the pen tool invariably it is set to zero, by defining a stroke above zero you can also define a colour. What you are seeing in the image is the bounding lines, like a default colour when no colour is set and which cannot be changed, at least not yet, you can also add a request to have that as a feature. 

Another option is to drop the opacity of the product image by about 30-40% to make the pen tools bounding line or stroke stand out more.
