Color range selection with problems in AP

[Affinity Jack]

Hi,

 

I have problems with the COLOR RANGE in AP.

 

I want to select color tones.

 

My steps:

1. Selecting a color with the color picker

2. Activate this color

3. "Selection" - "color range"

 

At step 3 there happens a lot of strange things.

a. Sometimes it works. Good! (no problem) 

b. Sometimes it isn't possible to click the "color range". It isn't choosable. (problem)

c. Sometimes (png with cut-out background) it selects only the whole "shape". It isn't adjustable. (problem)

 

I don't understand which reason could cause that.

 

I use JPG-files and tried different ways to import.

- dragging into AP

- Media Browser

- "open with..."

- rastering / not rastering

 

Could anybody help me?

Ciao Jack

Hi Jack :)

 

If the option isn't available it could mean that you have an Image Layer selected. If you rasterise the Image Layer the option should become available.

I also tried that. No difference. A strange thing.

 

I just made a short screencast, but it's not possible to upload.

But if I click "color range", it's like shown in the photo. The selection comes over the edges of the png-file (transparent background) and nothing is changeable...

 

It doesn't matter if raster or not, import in many different ways.

Strange thing.

 

I want to create a tutorial on YouTube and had to stopp because it doesn't work...

Sorry for not replying sooner Affinity Jack :(

 

Did you manage to resolve this? If not, is it possible to upload your screencast to dropbox?
