Kuttyjoe Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Photoshop has a range of options for selecting and adjusting color. Like Selective Color and Replace Color. These things are missing from Affinity apps. Even Color Range is missing a bunch of options. Photoshop allows you to select Reds, greens, blues, cyans, Yellow etc, plus the tones. Plus all the other options for dealing with color. Affinity Allows only Red, Yellow I think, and then the high lights, shadows, and midtones. I don't know how you're supposed to pull out the other hues accurately. And the way it makes the selections makes it hard to know what you've selected. Looking at the marching ants I have no idea what I've got selected. It also requires multiple pop up windows and more clicking to close them. I don't know why these things are implemented this way when some of the other features are impressively clever. Like the layer effects. That's a pretty smooth process other than that the palettes can't dock in two columns and can't minimize in the clever way that Adobe palettes do. I guess it's fair to compare to Photoshop since Serif does plenty of comparing to Photoshop. In some areas, Serif is really reinventing the wheel. Why is it necessary for the ordinary fill tool to be so complicated. The first time I tried to use it, I couldn't figure out why it just didn't seem to work. Of course, I could have read the manual before attempting to use the app but with over 2 decades of using that paint bucket in a whole range of programs, I can be forgiven for thinking that I know exactly what it is. Well, it's not as simple in Affinity apps and requires more clicking to achieve simply filling an area. One last thing while I'm complaining. In CorelDraw, if I open a pdf document with missing fonts, it allows me to choose to convert the font's vector information to curves. This way I get the art. Which is what I'm afer most of the time. It would be great if Affinity apps could do the same. Photoshop does it. Illustrator does not. Neither Affinity apps can do this.

Fixx Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Colour/Tonal Range seems quite useless right now. I would like to have a selection tool like Hue/Saturation in PS where you can adjust target very accurately. Except I would like there to be luminosity targeting too in addition of H/S. anon1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
