postmadesign Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 I really need to be able to import swatches in the iPad apps, and I can find no logical reason not to have this feature. I can import brushes, fonts, symbols, assets, but not swatches? It is essential when working with color to be able to import a palette with specific characteristics. On the desktop it is so easy to do, but on the iPad it is impossible... Also I considered creating a swatches set myself from an imported image, but this required so much back and forth, clicking and opening menus it was a nightmare and I gave up after 4 colors. Please implement importing swatches soon. j03b07, mackleys, kemie and 2 others 5 Quote
postmadesign Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 Posting something in the feedback section is like screaming in a void, there is no one there to hear you or at least let you know people read what you wrote. Very disappointed! Quote
DelTorro Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Yea i thought it was already in the program. Im pretty new to the ipad version so tonight i wanted to import my swatch from the PC version to my ipad but i see no way to import a swatch file so guess im out of luck. I hope they add this in the future. Quote

kalmiya Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 AirDropping a swatch from the mac to the iPad doesn't seem to work (you can save it on your iPad, but no reaction otherwise). So as a workaround: - start affinity on macOS - go to your swatches and export - open a new empty document - go to your swatches, import as document palette and select the swatch you exported. - save your swatches.afphoto image - open affinity on your iPad (main screen, not working on an image) - airdrop your swatches.afphoto image from the mac to the iPad - Now you can open your swatches... Not great, but at least I didn't have to manually set hundred or so colors. Quote
Alexandru Cojocaru Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 This is definitely a must. Hope it will be added soon. bleep 1 Quote
AllAppsUser Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Just adding these for reference...

The word "professional" fits us all - amateur, semi-pro, beginner, advanced, middle, beyond it all, and on....., because professionals are tolerant.
bleep Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 I spent around $260 in Affinity’s 50% off sales this weekend, and within my purchases are numerous .afpalette files which not only can I not load, I can’t even view on my iPad! Extremely frustrating. Please Affinity, can you make this happen now? Pic attached of 6 of the many palettes from my purchases, they’re blank if you try and view the individual files, too. Quote
