chris82 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I've been doing UI work using Affinity Photo to work out colours for visual elements. I've found that if I use the colour picker on a document created using 'New from Clipboard' when I use the colour picker it recolours the image. If I rasterize the image first then it just picks the colours. Why is Affinity Photo recolouring the image for Images? It all seems a bit weird and not what I would normally expect, as most app colour pickers just pick colours not recolour the image. Bit confused. Thanks in advance.

toltec Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 An image is an embedded document, so treated as a separate document, a bit like loading it into Word. When you rasterise it, is becomes an integral part of the main Affinity document. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

chris82 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 But for what reason is it recolouring at all and not just picking colours? Why is there two different functionalities? And why can't I pick colours from image documents only raster used documents? I don't see any logic to it, why it does it or why it's recolouring in that way.

toltec Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I'm not 100% sure about what or why but check if Apply to Selection is ticked. If so, untick it. On the colour picker tool Context menu.
