btschumy Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Is there a way to change the color of the selection outline in Affinity Photo? I am editing a very light gray, low contrast image and can barely see the selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you first make a rough selection, you can 'Refine' the selection with a choice of previews, e.g. an overlay in Red. Alternatively, you can make a temporary duplicate layer (in Windows: CTRL J) and either invert it or change its brightness/color, make your selection there and then, with the selection still active, select the source layer for doing the actual operation on.

Staff MEB Posted April 22, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi btschumy, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) As Bart said there's no way to change the colour of the marching ants. You can try enable Quick Mask mode pressing Q (or clicking on the respective icon in the main toolbar) as see if it helps. It has a few several display modes too: as red overlay, black, white or transparent (click the arrow near the icon on the main toolbar to change them).
