Angelos58 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hi there, I just signed up because Affinity designer for iPad is really a great app. I’d like to know if I can open into the app dfx or pdf files. And then if I can colorize a screenshot (or pdf or other format image) with only B&W contours, like Procreate does. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affinity apps can open .PDF files, but unfortunately not .DXF files currently. 53 minutes ago, Angelos58 said: And then if I can colorize a screenshot (or pdf or other format image) with only B&W contours, like Procreate does. Do you have a specific workflow in mind here? There are many ways you can 'colourise' a black and white image, and Affinity Photo is more geared towards this kind of work - not that it's impossible in Affinity Designer. If you could provide an example document or video showing what you'd like to do then myself and the community can offer more specific advice! Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Angelos58 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Thank Dan C, thank you very much. So I can open PDF. If my pdf is an image, only strokes without fill, when I open in Procreate I can fill all spaces with color and Procreate recognizes the contours of the various parts of the drawing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 @Angelos58 Hi Angelos58, If you post up a simple PDF I would be happy to test the colour fill options in Designer to see if it honours boundaries.

Angelos58 Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hi DM1 and thank you for availability. I try and it works, but is there a way to regulate the filling bore detection? In Procreate, when you fill a space you can regulate the amount of filling to saturating totally every space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Tolerance: For lower tolerance settings, pixels must be very close in value to the tapped pixel. For higher tolerance settings, pixel colour can vary widely from the tapped pixel. Contiguous: if enabled, the flood will only be applied to affected pixels that are in the same area of the image. If disabled, the flood will be applied to all the pixels that match the tolerance setting regardless of where they are in the image. There is also a vector fill tool that allows for gradient with many options in context menu. If You are new to Designer there. Is useful info here.
