[Photo Adjustment preset where are they?]

I set a preset for an adjustment but I don't see it anywhere where is it I want to use it to match up with another layer.

[Separate letters in Photo Artistic text?]

Thanks I did not look under Menu>Layers>convert to curves I was used to "convert to curves" in the context bar as with the rectangle tool. When I did not see it there I just assumed it could not be done.

[Separate letters in Photo Artistic text?]

Once you type a phrase using photo's artistic text is there a way to separate the letters? Individual letters?

Thank you.

Sweet trick very handy. Thanks Meb.

[Add layer below current layer with "optional" key]

Hello! Is there an answer?

[Add layer below current layer with "optional" key]

I agree! I want to keep a layer on top and not have it always moving. No satisfaction so far.

[Lock a layers position!]

Can this be done yet?

[When does Photo get text on a path(curve)?]

What is there to explain? When I follow your link, I see a post from MEB where he wrote "Affinity Photo doesn't have text-on-a-path, but Affinity Designer does", which is essentially the same as his statement in the current thread.

I get it I was trying to delete my post but could not figure out how to delete it. Thanks

[Batch Job rename]

It would be nice if you could rename images like resize for thumbnails and amend Thumb at the end of the file name or other things, anyway rename batch file names is my suggestion.

[Where do AD Brush sets live?]

This has to do with Affinity Photo Mac?

Is it possible to go into:  raster_brushes.propcol & vector_brushes.propcol.  located in: /Users/_YOUR_USERNAME_/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinitydesigner/Data/Library/Application Support/user/ .

Then create folders to consolidate brush categories in Photo?

Would they then show up in Photo as new categories?

Over writing the old?

Thanks

[Consolidating brushes?]

I know I can click on a brush and move it to a selected category but this will take too long going one brush at a time. Is there some other way of doing this? I hope so. Thanks

[When I add a new pixel layer I want it at the top of the layer list!]

Too All I fixed my large file took about an hour but now everything is working properly. Thanks for all the help. 

Problem Solved!

[When I add a new pixel layer I want it at the top of the layer list!]

Thanks for the file uncle808us.

This is because the layer on top was created in Affinity Designer. You can't deselect it in Affinity Photo like regular Pixel layers so all new layers you create will end up inside that layer.

To prevent this simply drag all layers inside the main layer to outside it. You can then add new layers to the top of the hierarchy. 

@Meb: There is a problem with this I have a large file that has very many layers (grouped) and layers within layers that were made in Designer that I now want in Photo. This would be very difficult (confusing) to drag out and regroup each one. So It will work in Photo. Any ideas on this problem.

Thank you I will be on the look out for this. And yes that fixed it.

 

OK, this file does not behave as it should -- there is some bug somewhere in program. Possibly it is related to fact that layer type is marked "layer" when it is really a "group" (I don't know if this should be possible). Maybe someone can tell how to fix it.

 

It is possible to get around problem by creating a new layer (inside group) and drag it out of group. After that new layers appear normally (like layers use that dragged layer as new reference).

@Fixx you were on the right trail see Meb's Post as for Meb thanks that fixed it. I will be aware of this in the future.

[When I add a new pixel layer I want it at the top of the layer list!]

I did not download the file because of its size, but I did notice from the second screen shot that the Template was marked "layer" & that it includes embedded sublayers. I suspect the embedded layers are somehow part of the problem but I am not sure how. Maybe expanding the Template layer to see what is still selected (in the screen shot) would reveal more about what is going on?

I thought of this and changed all embedded layers to pixel, same result. I also made sure nothing in the grouped layer was selected.same result.

Thanks.

That is what I used it changes the layer from Light blur to the half thin blue line.?? If someone can look at the file I send it along.

[When I add a new pixel layer I want it at the top of the layer list!]

No after hitting the escape key there is still a fine blue line under the templates Layer, also stays there if I select Select from the menu bar   and deselect all. Still have a thin blue line under the Templates layer. 

[When I add a new pixel layer I want it at the top of the layer list!]

Behaviour seems to be that new layer always appears next up the current active layer. So, if you have a layer group and you want new layer on the top of that group, you must not have a layer in that group active but you have to select layer group first -- then new layer appears next up to that group.

Photo does not seem to understand this or ... I don't.

[When I add a new pixel layer I want it at the top of the layer list!]

Sorry I should have said I was using Photo on a MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012 15 in.  OS X 10.11.6, 

I select the layer.

I select the add pixel layer.

It goes into the Templates folder I don’t want it there I want it at the top of the layers.

This happens selected or not!

[When I add a new pixel layer I want it at the top of the layer list!]

I searched for add layer, new layer and layer new and found no answer.

When I add a new pixel layer I want it at the top of the layer list!

I don't want it to go into the layer group that is already there.

I want it as a separate layer at the top how do I do it?
