aerobie Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hello, i was wondering if Affinity Designer has possibility to convert vector elements (selecting by layers) from color CMYK (or RGB) to CMYK but only in black K. I have to prepare black and white maps for printing and file is in CMYK with all colors, but lines are in greyscale. So to have better quality i have to change CMYK colors only for K (black). I can't find information about this at web page. I'm using Affinity Photo as Photoshop alternative - and it is really good for my needs. Thank you! bests Aerobie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 If you go to the Colour panel you can just set 100 K (black) Select CMYK from Document > Colour Format Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerobie Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Thank you for answer. But it is possible to use this tool for whole layer or selection, becouse i have maps with lot of single elements? Or maybe multichange for selected color?

toltec Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 An element is a layer. Every item you create is on it's own layer. If you select all the objects (layers) you can change the colours in one go. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

aerobie Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 it souds clear for me. Thank you! But, I was wondering if there is a limit for a quantity of layers, becouse my map has hundreds of elements... I'm including file with small part of the map for better understanding. aeroporto.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 AD tends to convert black vector shapes to C89M78Y62K97. That is annoying when K100 is what is needed. I don't know if there is some workflow solution which would convert black right. That would not be such a problem if there were already "select by attribute" feature available.
