AP - creating templates???

[Polygonius]

Is there any possibility to create templates, with defined sizes and color-palettes and other document-options, even with a fill-layer and other stunts, like a special font as default....????

So, always i hack cmd+N, i just have to choose this template and all base-settings are loaded?

 

I guess its possible via "protected" files of the OS-level, but thats not as comfortable as it could be.

On Macs, in the "Get Info" window you can check the "Stationary" box for a template file you have created, & Affinity Photo will create & open a copy of it in the same folder as the original -- the original title will be appended with a " Copy" suffix (or "Copy 2" & so on if there is already a copy). Not ideal, but usable as a workaround for the missing template feature.

 

Alternately, checking the "Lock" box will open the file as read only with a " [Read Only]" suffix, which disables the Save option. To save it, use the "Save As" menu choice.

 

For color palettes, you can always create an application or even system palette, which will become available for all Affinity Photo or all documents that can use color palettes, respectively.

Well, not ideal, but its comfortable enough - i can work well with this automated copys.

Thank you!
