Mark Ingram Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 On the Colour panel there is a picker tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted November 10, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 10, 2016 Hi 08:37:26.514-08:00: Adding to what Mark said, you can also press and hold ctrl+alt + drag to invoke the loupe in certain tools (brush tools). You may also want to go to menu View ▸ Studio ▸ Info to add samplers colour correction etc (check the menu icon on the top right of the panel). 08:37:26.514-08:00: 1 A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08:37:26.514-08:00: Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 It took me a few tries to figure out that you need to click and drag the picker icon to get it to activate.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 10, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 10, 2016 Seems the Colour Picker Tool is missing from the default set of tools on Affinity Photo Beta for Windows. You can add it going to menu View ▸ Customise Tools.... On the Mac version it appears between the Move Tool and the Crop Tool. I'm logging this.

08:37:26.514-08:00: Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 The info sampler is 8 bit only? the color picker reads 1/2 float exr values, but the info sampler reads 0-255 in the same document.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted November 10, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 10, 2016 Hi, Date / Time dude ;) Agreed - this should be more flexible - although it currently affects all platforms, so is not technically a Windows Beta bug.. I will investigate this, thanks for the heads up.. Andy. 08:37:26.514-08:00: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Jackson Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I had to Google this to find the color picker lol... so definitely think it should be included by default on the sidebar. All good now though. Also, huge kudos to the team. Those of us on Windows appreciate you... I finally ditched Adobe and am loving Affinity Photo and Designer.
