COLOR PICKER AND PRIMARY COLOR

[Jokinb]

Affinity photo and designer in the Desktop version.

With the color picker tool ( tool bar) only the secondary color is changed. 

If I´m painting with the brush tool and I want to select another color in the canvas, I must:

1.-  select the color picker tool (I short key) ( then the secondary color is selected in the color wheel, so the color that will pick the color picker tool   will be the secondary color)),.

2.- drag to select a new color,.

3.-select the brush tool (I shortkey) (then the primary color is focused in the color wheel and the secondary color will pick the new color). 

4.- Exchange the primary and  secondary colors .

5.-Paint now.

A lot of works.

The most logical thing would be for the color picker  tool to change the primary color directly.

 

In the Ipad version there is not this problem

I am doing something wrong?

Use the shortcut to switch fill tontext

Yes, but the most logical thing is to change the primary color directly with the color picker

Hi Jokinb,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Press ctrl + alt on Windows and clik-drag  (or command + alt on Mac) while using the Paint Brush Tool to invoke the colour picker (loupe) and change the primary colour in place.
