Affinity Designer iPad Color Palette Import?

[kickikack12]

Hello everyone, 

 

Is there a way to import a color palette into Affinity Designer on iPad? And if not will we see that feature soon? 

 

thanks

Hi kickikack12,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
No, currently this is not available on the iPad version. Hopefully this will be added in a future update (no eta).

Hi MEB, I want you to go try to add a 135 color palette to Afinity Designer for iPad and let me know if you find any ux improvements along the way. If you need some guidance I’d be happy to make a recording of me attempting the same thing.

Here’s the palette. Perhaps it will be a good exercise in customer empathy.

Any update to this feature?

I would also really like to have this feature ported to the ipad version.

Is there any news if this feature will come to iPad?

I think I found a way to do this using a desktop file to include it's palette into iPad on import. But native palette import and creation from image would be very welcome on iPad Designer.

Still no ETA for this feature?

Hi LuiSJA,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
No, sorry.

The temporary solution is to create a file with document palette on desktop, save the file and open it on iPad.

Pallette import and creationg from image are definitely much needed.

I just tried every workaround for adding my palette to Designer on iPad to no avail.

I added the palette as a document palette on the PC, then opened the file on the iPad. The palette exists, but can’t be added as an Application palette. 

Also, I started a custom Application palette but it didn’t sync when I closed the software. I can’t believe how terrible palette support is. A great shame!

Yea, why isn't this added in the 1.8 update? We can import everything from brushes to styles but a simple palette swatch is impossible? I really hope they will add this ASAP because its a pretty basic feature that many people are asking for!

Do you have direct content with anyone at the development team? Because with 2,238 views on this subject shows its on demand but maybe there is a good reason why they havnt added it yet?

Solution is to:

1. Create a template document
2. Use the Mac to import a palette into the template document
3. Use the iPad to create a new document based on the template.

Placing the template in iCloud or some other network shared storage would help as well.

I know you can do it like this but i dont own Affinity for my PC.  Isn't it the point of buying affinity for ipad that everything works without doing work on a PC..... I just find it weird that it takes so long for this to be added while it should be there from the start.

Any updates on this??

[MEB]

Hi Nandita,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
There's still no way to import colour palettes in the iOS version (both in Designer and Photo), sorry. I've bumped the report to bring this issue up again to devs attention. Thanks for your support.

[Nforce777]

Yes,please!

That would be very helpful since people have been asking for this feature since 2018. Every good design software has it (Photoshop, Procreate,...)

[Cantisani]

@MEB awesome, I was looking for this feature and I can't find it. I see it's been asked for a long time now, hopefully we'll have it soon.

[MEB]

Hi Cantisani,
Still not there, sorry. The dev team is working as fast as they can (now from home). I'm sure it will end up being added at some point. Bear with us.

Came here looking for the same thing. Just wanted to add my vote that it is very much needed. Thanks for the awesome app! Was waiting a long time to get it on the iPad.

How about now?
