Photo or Designer? Global Color Replacement

[reberclark]

Is Global Color Replacement available in Photo and/or Designer?

 

(select two colors and then swap them out)

 

All info appreciated.

Hi reberclark,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Both apps support Global Colours but not exactly the way you are describing. You define a global colour (click the menu icon on the top right of the Swatches panel and select Add Global Colour...) then apply it to the object you want. If you need to change it, right-click the global colour in the Swatches panel and select Edit Fill..., all objects using it will update accordingly. Not sure if this what you are looking for.

Thank you MEB for the rapid reply!

 

That is very useful information.

 

Is there some other function, available in either Photo or Designer, that will exchange two selected colors over an entire image without having to select an object?

 

Thanks.

You meant on bitmaps/images.. There's a Colour (hue) Replacement Brush Tool in Affinity Photo and there's a few adjustments that lets you change/adjust selected areas of an image...

Can you be more specific? Most of the times you have to create a selection/mask first (there's a few ways to do this) then change/adjust it through adjustments... Do you have sample image you can attach so we can see what you are trying to achieve?

I will try to be more specific.

 

Is there a way in an image to zoom in on a specific pixel and sample its color. Let's say a blue pixel in an image of a blue sky with mountains and trees.

 

I am wanting to replace all pixels in the entire image that are of this pixel's color with another color - let say RGB 0, 255, 0 (green). No selecting objects or defining borders.

 

Apologies for not uploading an image but I cannot seem to find how to do that without the image being hosted on the web somewhere.

You can go Select>sampled colour. There will be a dialogue where you can set the tolerance.

And you can use the selection brush/tool to add or subtract from the selection.

Then you can add a recolour adjustment layer and use the colour slider to choose the colour you want.

Thank you, Madame!

MEB - did you give up on me?

Hi Madame! Is this for Photo or Designer or both? EDIT: Nevermind. Did it in Photo. Nice! Thanks again!
