Melow200 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Okay, on Photoshop i was able to instantly change my color swatches back to black and white with a shortcut. Is there a way to similar in Affinity photo? Also in Photoshop when I color picked a color on another image it and it became my currently bucketed color i could switch to another document and it would stay the same, in Affinity it would be what i was using in that document beforehand and it would in the color picker instead so i have to make another click to make it my primary. Is there anyway to stop that extra step? it really slows my workflow from what i had in Photoshop. Quote

There is no default keyboard shortcut for that but you can easily add one in Keyboard Shortcuts preferences: Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.5.7 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7

That's was really my main problem. That what's really slowing my progress. Is there a way I can shortcut key the process of adding the color picker selected color to my fill color? Quote

SrPx Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 I was going to suggest to copy hex color to clipboard, using RGB hex, sliders, instead of color wheel, so to copy the hex code from field box to the other document's field box.... But I guess makes no sense, as you find slow even the thing of: -the color wheel has in its top window area a tiny eyedropper. You drag and drop it on the image area where resides the color you want. It becomes the one in the tiny circle, not in the document's primary one (don't care about it now). Then you ctrl +tab (or click the other tab) to the other document, click only once in the tiny circle there (already had the color you set in the other one, as the tiny color picker is indeed "global") , because that click on the tiny color circle sample (you did not need to do so in the other document) puts the tiny circle's color into the main primary color, in this other document. It is handy (not just for this) if you have the "Color" studio detached, and near your working area, for speed's sake. But not covering or being an obstacle, Just near. It's 1 drag & drop in one document + 1 click in the other document (in that tiny circle). And you have your color passed through to primary. You can as well do your global swatches (swatches studio) by hitting the pallete icon in that window, having at the left of that icon selected COLORS (is global), not DOCUMENT. So not only you are having same swatch color in the other document, is also keeping a scrollable history of your added swatches, that you can reuse later. You can delete those afterwards ( tho might not be practical) Remember that's not the same than, also in swatches studio, the horizontal row of "recent" colors.... those are document-specific, not global. I mean, if you do it a lot, you might want even less clicks. Depends on your workflow. If is from time to time, is not so many clicks, specially the first method. Quote AD, AP and APub V2.5.x.

I can't say exactly what I was doing exactly that made it so long. I know I used to have to tap the G keep to get my bucket tool back all the time lol but once I saw your reply I went back to affinity(went back to Photoshop for the little time I have left on it lol) and reattempt it and it's much faster. I know moving the Color Studio closer has helped tremendously. Idk why I didn't do that before. So that sped it up alot and I'm not having to tap I and tap G for the tools I need everytime this time around. Thanks again for replying to this old thread bought me back to Affinity. SrPx 1 Quote
