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.
