Staff Gabe Posted January 15, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hi @vincent wenk, Welcome to the forums. Yes, you can use the Bitmap tool on both pixel and Vector objects. Thanks, Gabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 What is the Bitmap Tool? That's not one I've heard of, and it doesn't seem to be mentioned by that name in the Help files.

Staff Gabe Posted January 15, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 15, 2019 It's just the gradient using a bitmap fill. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to keep things interesting, the tool is named "Gradient" in Affinity Photo & "Fill Tool" in Affinity Designer. BTW, I just noticed that in Affinity Photo (Mac 1.6 version) if I select a pixel layer with the Gradient tool, set the context to "Stroke" & Type to "Bitmap" & then select a raster image file for the fill, Affinity Photo immediately crashes, so you might want to avoid doing that.
