davemac2015 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Currently, the only way to fill an object is to use the Gradient tool. I'd love to see the option when you click on the Fill tab - you'd see None, Swatches, Color, Gradient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If you switch to the Fill tool and look at the context toolbar, there should be a drop-down for Type. Selecting Bitmap from that will prompt you for the filename of the bitmap to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl123 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The Fill Tool with the Bitmap option is in Affinity Designer Affinity Photo does not have a Fill Tool, it has a Flood Fill Tool It gets even more confusing...

davemac2015 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 What I'm looking for is a consistent means of selecting "Bitmap" as a Fill option. I'd like to see "Bitmap" as another tab, after Gradient, or as a selection on the Gradient tab itself. I'm not seeing a Bitmap option at all in Photo, at least not as a contextual option when "Fill" is chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your screenshot has marked the Floodfill tool. The tool I mean is the one below it, that looks like a CD. It's called Gradient in Photo, but it does do bitmaps.

It's called Gradient in Photo, but it does do bitmaps. Why isn't it called the same thing in both apps, and why isn't the word 'Tool' included in the tooltip in Affinity Photo? davemac2015 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
