Imaginary Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 When sampling a color with the paint brush tool by pressing the ALT key, always the global color as it can be seen on the screen is sampled. If there are brightening or darkening layers above the current layer, the sampled color is brightened or darkened once more, which ends up in a completely wrong color. The actual color picker tool has a source setting "Current layer" which samples the correct color. So either the paint brush tool should consider the color picker tool's source setting when sampling a color or it needs an own setting for sampling colors. There is a dark blue circle on the middle layer used as sampling source. The top layer has a brightening effect. The color for the lower dot on the right was sampled with the actual color picker tool with source set to "Current layer", the color is correct. The color for the upper dot was sampled with the paint brush tool's inbuilt color picker by pressing ALT: the color chosen is already brighter than it actually is and is then brightened once more.

Imaginary Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Still the same in 1.7.3.481 Really, no one else? Just add an option in the tool settings of the paint brush: "Sample source: Current layer, Global" Otherwise sampling with the paint brush is quite useless... It's the little things that keep Affinity from being a real PS alternative... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
