Error import file .afpalette


Recommended Posts

I have brought the Frankentoon Concept master nature pack, I've installed all of the .afbrushes files but for .afpalette I can’t import it when I try it says “Unable to import palette. Incompatible file."  What is this and how do I install it please?? I hope this makes sense!

Thank you

Hi isnuldesu,

Welcome to the forums :)

How are you trying to open/import this file please? It looks as though you've double clicked it in Finder or dragged and dropped it into the application - unfortunately this doesn't work with .afpalette files.

Please open the Swatches Studio, then use the menu icon to the right hand side of the Studio to import your Palettes - I hope this helps!

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!

Importing the Frankentoon Concept master nature pack colour palette through swatches-import palette- as application palette- generates the same error message.

It works fine for me in both apps:

Are you using a Mac or Windows PC?

What is the size of your frankentoon-concept-master-nature.afpalette file? For me, Get Info reports that it is 5,698 bytes (8 KB on disk). (I am not sure why on the Affinity Store Downloads & product keys page it says it is 12KB.)

Anyway, what happens if you download a fresh copy fom the store & try to install that?

I believe the Affinity Store provides sizes based on Windows 'Size on disk' -

However if you're having trouble installing this palette it certainly could be a corrupted download file - please downloading again as R C-R has requested and let us know how this goes :)

That’s not a useful size to quote! The actual size is fixed, but the ‘Size on disk’ will vary according to the cluster size on the storage device.
