When the picker is unloaded you can load it with a style from any object / text in your document with a single tap.

If you wish to unload the tool, you can tap the ‘Delete’ button in the context toolbar.

In the context toolbar, you can see whether the tool is currently loaded with a style or not.

This tool allows you to quickly copy the style of any object or text in your document to other objects. You will find this nested within the Color Picker Tool. The Style Picker Tool, which was added to the desktop versions in 2.0, is now available in the iPad versions.

Alt / ⌥ Option-drag a brush to quickly create a duplicate of the brush in the panel.

The iPad versions already showed brush names in prior versions.

Choose to show brush names in the panel (option in burger menu).

This was previously only available as an option with raster brushes.Īdditionally, in the desktop versions you can now:

If you have changed any of the temporary properties of a brush, you can choose to update your brush preset to use that setting (from right click menu on desktop, left swipe menu on iPad).This is something which can be optionally switched off (‘Auto-Scroll’ in the panel’s burger menu). If you change brush tools (e.g., between paint brush and eraser) which have different brushes assigned, the panel will automatically scroll / switch category to always show the current brush.Brush Panel now always highlights the current raster brush (in blue) and will now denote if the brush has been edited (by highlighting red).Under (iPad only) – if you have multiple objects stacked on top of each other, each tap will cycle through the z-order of the layer stack, allowing you to select items underneath the top item (this can also be achieved by holding Alt or ⌥).Ī lot of customer feedback has been incorporated into the Brush Panel:.Group – only selects groups, will ignore any objects not part of a group.

Objects / Layers – ignores any groups and automatically drills to select any child object you click on.Default – clicking on any objects or groups will select them.Additionally, when auto-select is turned on, you can also choose how you want selections to be made from the drop-down: The auto-select toggle is available from the context toolbar when in the Move Tool. Having auto-select turned off means you can also drag anywhere on your document to move your selection, getting your cursor (or finger on iPad!) out of the way. This can be very useful when you want to make sure you do not accidentally select a different object from the one you are working on. For more information, check out this tutorial.Īll Affinity apps now have the ability to disable the Move Tool auto-selecting objects when you click on them (this option was previously only available in Affinity Photo). There are lots of options available when using this tool. For an area to be recognized, any curves in your selection need to fully intersect, so it can sometimes be beneficial to expand strokes to bridge gaps in paths before using the tool.While in the tool, if you wish to change your selection, you can hold ⌘ Command (Mac / iPad) or Ctrl (Windows) and click / drag marquee to select other objects.It’s a way to quickly change the color of objects without having to select them first. If you don’t have any objects pre-selected you can just use the tool to fill any existing closed shape.You can also choose to layer a texture fill on top of a color fill with the options available in the context toolbar. The other great thing with this tool is it allows for the simple creation of bitmap fill textures too – you can create a texture fill from any asset or stock item just by clicking on it.

Click in any of the available areas to fill with your chosen colors.Choose your fill color – select what color you wish to fill your areas with from the Color or Swatch Panel.Switch to Vector Flood Fill Tool – this will analyze your selection and work out all the areas available to fill.Select all the items you want the tool to consider.The behavior is similar to what you may be used to with a pixel-based flood fill, but you get true vector results. This all-new tool allows you to easily fill areas created by intersecting objects and curves with a single click.
