R C-R Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Change the "Extend:" setting on the Context toolbar to something other than "Repeat" & it should be fine.

Guest Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 @dutchshader, thanks for the screen in English, moreover I just noticed with this screenshot that the question concerned AP, fortunately that the operation is the same as in AD in this case.

Guest Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Considering the screenshot you posted you must have it. To make it visible in the context bar, select the shape and then take the "Fill" tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Go to View > Show Context Toolbar, there should be a tick/check mark at the side of it, if there isn't click on it, then select the Gradient tool and you should see a toolbar just above the workspace and below the main menu.

The OP's screenshot in this post above shows the correct tool selected & the Context toolbar, but I suspect the layer with the bitmap fill was not selected when the screenshot was made, thus the "Type: None" showing in the toolbar.

Guest Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Apparently you just "Place" the bitmap in the document. You have to make it a style to get the options you need. Select the bitmap on your page, right-click it and choose "Convert to Curves". Right-click again and choose "Create a style". Select the form to fill with your bitmap, go to the "Style" tab of the studio, search for the style you just created and click on it, it will apply to the form and the options you were missing will be available.

dutchshader Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Or place a rectangle shape and fill this with the bitmap Quote intel core i5, 16GB 128Gb ssd win10 Pro Huion new 1060plus. philips 272p 2560x1440px on intel HD2500 onboard graphics Razer Tartarus Chroma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R C-R Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 6 minutes ago, >|< said: The Extend control is absent when applying a "bitmap fill" to a Pixel layer. Apply the "bitmap fill" to a vector object (for example, a Rectangle) instead and the Extend control will be available. Unless I am missing something, there is still something weird about that screenshot: it shows that the bitmap fill has indeed been applied to the top "(Pixel)" layer -- you can see it in the context toolbar -- but it is not showing up in that layer's thumbnail in the Layers panel. Maybe it is different for the Windows version, but in the Mac one the Layers panel thumbnail always updates to show the fill as soon as the bitmap fill is applied.

firstdefence Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I think it would be best if you gave us the version of Affinity Photo and also uploaded the file for us to look at.

aakoch Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I would like to say thanks to >|< for solving the issue for me. I don't understand why it behaves this way, but it is infuriating! The Extend option doesn't show unless in a vector object. I'm attaching a screenshot hoping it might help someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
