Hello, I have a really big problem with the Gradient tool... When I use the tool it immediately applies black/white color on my image, i can first change the color when its already applied which means under my intended color there will remain black or white pixels which make the gradient look terrible. My question is can I turn the automatic-application off somehow?

it kind of works with Context:Fill-->Type:Solid Im just wondering if other people have experienced same issues with the tool, im still a newbie at the program... overall it's good but I enjoyed the Gradient tool of GIMP way more... Affinity Photo never acutally saves the colors that i've used before it always jumps back to black/white colors or it lets me select 1 color but the other one stays black/ or white... I struggle so much at this, maybe it's on me to blame. IDK anymore... sometimes I click on Stroke and the ( Type: ) option is even locked... or it doesnt allow me to reverse the gradient on the options.

Not really sure what you are using the gradient for. Are you using pixel layers for fills?

 

Much better to use Fill Layers, Layer > New Fill Layer. Not only are they editable later, you can save the gradients in them as defaults. If you set a gradient that you like and go Edit > Defaults > Save and Photo will remember that and use that gradient every time. 

 

You can also save gradients in Swatches. Right click and choose "Add to swatches" "From Fill".
