soulburn Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Summary: Would love to see the ability to color code layers with a set of premade colors. This would affect the Layers UI, not the image itself. Usage: A great way of organizing layers. I can color code all my text layers Blue, all my painted layers Red, some special effects layers green. Then when I am trying to find those layers inside a 300 layer file, it's easier to find them then by name alone.

verysame Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Right click on layer and select properties... Could you post a screen grab? It seems there's no properties on the right click here.

Staff MEB Posted December 5, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hi verysame, This is only available for "regular" layers created in Affinity Designer (third icon counting from right on the bottom of the Layers panel). Right-click on them and select Properties... on the bottom of the menu. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 It only works on layers - must have (Layer) on the layer stack name... AD allows the creation of Layers, as distinct from Objects or Groups, while AP does not allow the creation of Layers, unless you duplicate an existing Layer and then replace its contents in the Layers panel. Once you have a Layer selected and right click on it, you will see the Properties… at the bottom of the pop-up menu, in either app, since all Affinity apps use the same format and allow editability of objects not created in the current app, ie, editing AP Live Filters within AD.

verysame Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Oops, sorry guys. I was checking in Photo! :P Quote Andrew - Win10 x64 AMD Threadripper 1950x, 64GB, 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD + 2TB, dual GTX 1080ti Dual Monitor Dell Ultra HD 4k P2715Q 27-Inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 My first instinct was that the colour highlight is very subtle! Just a single pixel line where I was expecting it to tint the whole folder. Perhaps it is sufficient. Time will tell I guess!

Alex_M Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Yes, please! Coming from Photoshop, I miss color coding my layers/groups in Affinity Photo. It's a nice way to organize your document. Is this feature planned and when can we expect it to be implemented? Thanks so much! AF is an impressive piece of software, so far I like it! :) Quote Affinity Photo 2.4.2 for Windows ◾ OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 ver. 22H2 ◾ CPU: AMD Ryzen 7950X 16-core ◾ RAM: 64 GB DDR5-6400 ◾ GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Suprim X 24GB / driver 526.98 ◾ NVMe SSD Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB ◾ Monitors: 2x Eizo ColorEdge CS2420 24" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
