How to Make Custom Swatches in Affinity (For Photoshop Users)
Learn how to create your own custom color swatch palettes in Affinity Photo (v3) so you can work with your go-to colors more quickly and consistently. In this tutorial, I walk through the exact steps for adding colors, creating palettes, and making sure your swatches show up across Pixel, Designer, and other Studio modes.
This is one of my first tutorials in Affinity as I explore whether I can move away from Photoshop. If you're also coming from Adobe and a bit lost, you’re not alone. Let’s learn this together!
