AffinityPhoto Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 I am quite used to using the color picker and the brush tool one after another to do editing. So for example using a soft semi transparent brush and sampling the colour and then painting an area, then sampling again and painting again. However when switching between the Color Picker (I shortcut) and the Brush (B shortcut) the stroke and fill colors keep switching each time which is very frustrating. So I will sample a color and when I change tools to paint, the color sampled is switched for the stroke color. You can try this by using B and then I on the keyboard one after another and see how the stroke and fill colors keep switching. Some other tools also seem to do this switch between stroke and fill when switching to it, but other tools do not and I am not sure why. I would think it would be more intuitive to always leave the stroke and fill as they are and simply have a keyboard shortcut to be able to switch between them manually as required. Is there a setting to prevent this or am I doing something wrong here? IPv6 1 Quote
Staff Lee D Posted April 5, 2019 Staff Posted April 5, 2019 Hi AffinityPhoto, The tools are working as designed, you can use the keyboard shortcut X to switch the colours. You can post this as a future improvement in the Feature Requests section of the forum. Quote
AffinityPhoto Posted April 5, 2019 Author Posted April 5, 2019 Ah yes you're both right, by pressing x and switching the colors around as required the first time, then after switching tools it works as required. Thank you Quote
