Sticker created - now I need a custom color for the cut lines...but how?

[netsrac]

Okay, I created a custom sticker in Affinity Designer (in CMYK). All looks good.

But first of all I would love to see the single color layers and check them.

Second I would need to create a custom color which goes onto a separate color layer which is then used to cut out the sticker,

I know how to do this in Photoshop and could easily export and do the final steps there. But I think this should be a kind of common problem and I‘m sure Affinity Designer has this option. It’s just hidden somewhere. Don’t worry about the color to be used for cutting, it would be the same steps if you want to use an additional custom color (like gold) in offset printing.

So how do I do this? How can I see the single color layers? How do I create a custom color?

I already spent some time, but could not find any solutions...

 

Thanks, Carsten

Hi netsrac,

You can use isolation mode to view the different layer you have, just hold down ALT and click on the Layers studio and you'll only be shown the layer you've clicked on, all other layer will be hidden from view.

As for a custom colour, this video should help
