Texture Picker?

[Kckbxr259]

Is there a texture picker?

 

ie: to be able to pick a texture from an image?

If you choose the Gradient Fill Tool, you can choose 'Bitmap' as the fill type. This will invoke a dialog to open a saved image file, which will be tiled to fill the selected shape. You can then use the node handles to tweak the position, size and rotation of the fill.

Thanks for your reply. Although I think I understand your answer which is also useful to know, I think I may have worded my question incorrectly. So I will try to explain again.

 

I will use a picture of a starry night with text in the middle for an example. Let's say I wish to remove the text in the middle and keep the starry night effect where the text was. So to do this I would need to copy some of the starry night and overlay the text with the now copied starry night. Please advise if this is possible.

If I've understood your description correctly, you can achieve the effect you want with the Clone Brush Tool in Affinity Photo.

Thanks for your reply. However, do they have such a tool in Affinity Designer?

[Alfred]

No, there's no Clone Brush Tool in Affinity Designer. (In the absence of any information to the contrary, the fact that you described a kind of image manipulation led me to think you were using Affinity Photo.)
