Using Hue Jitter - how select the colours it jitters?


Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm new to Affinity and am keen to start making composites involving photos and digital art (eg a composite of a boy fighting a dragon). I am just at the beginning of this journey and have found some dragon brushes which I have imported. The brushes give a basic outline of a dragon and I want to add a skin type texture. I have found up to now that the texture paints a single colour, or a variety of colours if I use the Hue Jitter slider in the Dynamics section of the brush adjustments.

However, I have been unable to see where you can adjust the colours it jitters - I want it to jitter between two set colours and the tones in between them. When I slide the Hue Jitter slider over to the right the texture brush will change colour but I can't see how to control or limit the colours it jitters between? 

I have looked for obvious tutorials but can't see anything.

Any advice please?

I don’t think it’s possible, at least not with the Hue Jitter control. As far as I’m aware, you can only specify a base hue and a jitter percentage on either side of that.

You may be able to use a gradient map to do this

If you want to alternate the brush between just 2 colours insert hard stop colours into the gradient map as shown below (results on the left side of the screen)

If you want to alternate the brush between the different shades of two colours just remove the (2) centre stop colours (results on the right side of the screen)

Brush used was a basic brush set to green colour and 100% Hue Jitter
