M2ginn Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Really excited to use affinity but like others disappointed the live paint feature hasnt been prioritised particularly when affinity positions itself as a replacement to illustrator…and given that illustrator will be released later in the year, I may be tempted to move back for this feature.

Cakeboss Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Please tell me you guys are almost there for a live paint tool? It's been 5 years since you've asked and said you've been working on it. This is a very critical component for why I used Illustrator. artsyhalo, Markio, Ivan C and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcella Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 five years and still no paint bucket. Gotta go back to old photoshop app. I just want to create a black document and don't see how and haven't found tutorial that tells me how. Geez.

MÅNEMANN Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Live paint bucket is one of the features that would be really neat to have, and it's kind of a shame that it's so silent from the devs. But there's probably a lot going on under the surface of the app that makes it more complicated than it seems, and we should all be grateful for these amazing Affinity apps that are already, not only giving Adobe the competition they've needed for too long, but also murdering the standards of what's possible on a tablet. I feel like my iPad leveled up 10 times when i installed Affinity Designer and Photo. So please think of this before being too harsh. That said I'm also eager to see the live paint bucket update one day, rather sooner than later! Ivan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David.P Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Live paint bucket (and vector fill) URGENTLY needed! Inkscape sort of has both, but lacks too many other things Ivan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some users think it's an AI killer, Affinity have never said that. It has a small subset of AI's features and that may always be the case. If it meets your requirements then great but ignore the people who get carried away pretending it can replace AI for everyone. You just have to look at the requests to see where it's lacking. Of course it does kill AI on price and being locked out of your work if you don't want to keep paying their tax, which is why their subscription model is horrible. If you're thinking of AI for iPad you must have AI for the desktop too as it's part of the subscription, you can't get the iPad version separately. So use that unless the iPad is your only device. AI on the iPad is pretty basic at the moment and it's unlikely to ever be feature comparable to the desktop version and unless Apple change their direction in some areas it's impossible to be.

Max Lalande Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 This is getting ridiculous with Affinity Designer, way behind other Affinity products. As someone in the architectural profession, not only do I need to bring in all types of AI files (not only pdf embedded), but also CAD, having already needing to workaround to convert to SVG, and now the most useful tool other than the pen tool isn't accessible is infuriating. I've had to do hundreds of illustrations and diagrams and the 'live paint tool' is absolutely essential. Really want to switch to Affinity but this is a killer!!! Please get it sorted!

bscape Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Its so disappointing, I have just had to suck it up and buy Illustrator as my design practice cannot function with out 'Select' and 'Live Paint' - really disappointed that this is still not a priority!!

Intuos5 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Yes please, also because Illustrator's live paint is able to create hatches in the hardest of circumstances in which CAD tools fail. It's also very quick. transitdiagrams, Ivan C and Markio 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixv Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) Live Paint in Designer would be a dream. It's the only reason I still have Illustrator installed, and I desperately want to uninstall it along the rest of the many tiny adobe bloatware programs. I'm also in Architecture, which baseline requires starting with precise line work from other CAD programs. Starting a drawing in Designer without lines from CAD or rasterizing the image is simply not realistic, and frankly they're absurd suggestions as I've read suggested elsewhere on this forum. While there are other Illustrator features that I think are great, they are nice-to-have. Something like Live Paint is an absolute necessity for our workflows. CAD programs aren't the right place to do the Live Paint-like operations either as they'll need more general vector image editing features. I appreciate Affinity's software suite holistically, but I still can't recommend it in good faith to others within Architecture. It's already incredibly time consuming and without this feature becomes orders of magnitude more time consuming.

amoraleite Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Would be great live paint. And can be better of the Ai. imagine. you drawing line art com effect on the stroke, I mean size pressure of strokes, I can't do live paint with effect strokes right? Then you simple fill spaces with colors… like procreate do with layer reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intuos5 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 It has been in CAD software for ages, it's called the hatch command, there. It just hasn't been broadly adopted in vector illustration software.... gotanidea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence no other vector illustration software has the feature I think that the algorithm is from old Macromedia Flash... Adobe only adapted and make a better solution, more integrated with the illustrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanderBraum Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 +1 for Live Paint. Really don't want to resubscribe to Adobe but really bummed that Designer still 7 years later has no fill option for vector art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
