Colour picker recolours Images but not Rasters


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

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.
