Thank you. This was easy

I wanted to ask if there is a way to create live filters not as child layer but directly as a new layer. I was trying to create a macro and macros do not allow moving. It was impossible to create a macro where a live filter is not as child but is directly applied. (I was trying to follow the orton effect tutorial and hoping to create it as an macro). Thank you for your help and time.

An Update - Tried identical process except started with a blank canvas (exact same size, same DPI and color profile). Save size - 7 KB Added linked image (same as above) - < 1 MB Similar processing - curves with masks and such. Final afphoto file size : ~20 MB. This makes a lot more sense to me.

Hello everyone, I have become big fan of AP and I think this is a perfect software for photographers on budget with great features and flexibility. I only recently started using AP (actually only recently started photography altogether). My workflow is probably not the best but it is what I have settled on. I do raw processing on a different software and then use AP on the exported tif file. I was really excited about the linked file feature mainly due to the potential of decreasing the file sizes of afphoto . I tried with a tif file and few simple curves and still the file size was 215 MB or so. Just to test, I deleted every image layer and just left the curve layers and the file size actually increased. I removed even the curve layers and saved a empty file which ended up being roughly 200 MB. I am not sure what is being saved when there is no layer to save such that the file size ended up this large. Am I missing nay settings (Save history is not enabled). Thank you for your help.
