You can continue to do this until you release the mouse button. This allows you to sample the red of the boat by clicking on it and then paint over the reflection in the water, without affecting the surrounding water. The Colour Replacement Brush then continues to use this colour sample until you release the mouse button. This is why the water turns green and not just the red reflection.īy unchecking the Sample Continuously option, the sample is taken when you first click to start painting with the brush. If we try to paint over an area like the water where the red of the boat is reflected, it’s likely that the brush will sample the water as we paint. It then replaces the sampled colour within the circumference of the brush with the new replacement colour you selected. It does this using a small central area of the brush.
This instructs the Colour Replacement Brush to continuously sample the colours within the brush as you paint. You’ll find the Sample Continuously option in the Affinity Photo Context Sensitive Toolbar, at the top of the interface. One way to avoid this is by changing the Sample Continuously option for the brush. There are also other difficult areas where this could happen like where you see the reflection of the red of the boat on the water. In the example above the colour replacement has spilled over into the water. But if you miss the mistake, you may be able to fix it later using a mask. If you spot a problem like the one above when painting, it’s best to undo and repeat the brush stroke. Ideally you should keep as close to the edge of the object as possible without allowing the centre of the brush to move outside the area. Notice in the screenshot above that I’ve spilled over into the water on the left side of the boat. Whilst the Colour Replacement Brush seems to almost magically replace the colour in the image with a new colour, you might see some problems. You can then click on the colour you want to replace in the image and paint with the Colour Replacement Brush. Now be sure to select the new image layer, which should be at the top of the Layers Studio Panel.

Or ff you’re using a PC it’s Shift + Ctrl + Alt + E.
You can create this using the keyboard shortcut Shift + Option + Cmd + E on a Mac. A Stamp Layer consolidates all the visible layers in an image into a single new layer. If your image has multiple layers rather than a single background layer, you can create a new Stamp Layer. You will then see the new duplicate image layer appears in the Layers Studio Panel. This displays a popup menu where you can select the “Duplicate” option. You can duplicate the image layer in the Layers Studio Panel by right clicking on the image layer. It’s therefore a good idea not to paint directly onto the background image layer, but rather use a duplicate image layer. This means it directly affects the pixels of the image layer. It’s important to understand that the Colour Replacement Brush is a destructive editing tool. The Colour Replacement Brush is a Destructive Edit This is how simple it is to use the Colour Replacement Brush, but there is a little more to understand to achieve the best results. Then if we continue to hold down the mouse button and paint with the brush, the colour is replaced everywhere that we paint. If we then click with our mouse, the colour is replaced in that area of the boat. Replacing a Colour with the Colour Replacement BrushĪfter setting a replacement colour, if we move the mouse pointer over the red boat, the Colour Replacement Brush displays a preview of the new colour.
The dropdown list setting in the screenshot is “Colours”.Īfter selecting the replacement colour, we can begin to change colours using the Colour Replacement Brush. You can change between different panel views by clicking the dropdown list (number 2). It’s quite possible your Swatches panel looks different to the screenshot above. You can also switch between the foreground and background colours by clicking the small, curved arrow to the top right of the two discs, or by pressing X on your keyboard. You can pick a new foreground colour to use by clicking a swatch. It’s the foreground colour that the Colour Replacement Brush uses to replace another colour in the image. At the top of the Swatches Studio Panel, you will see the current foreground and background colours (number 1).
