Thanks Bryan.
I wonder why screen sharing has noticeable latency. It works fine between Macs even over Wi-Fi, in fact I access my old Windows machines using Microsoft Remote Desktop (but over wired Ethernet).
This wasn't always the case - it used to be very slow. But my KVM switches have been sitting in the garage for years.

Is this possible or sensible? I don't think even the iPad Pro's 16GB of RAM would be enough for me, and I find iPads cumbersome to try and work on in general (that's not what they're good at).
But this seems like it would be a good application for the Apple Pencil.
If not, which tablets do people recommend?
TIA

Ah okay, that works. I first tested it clicking on the Checkbox and that doesn't work, but it works clicking the Thumbnail by holding Alt. And all checkboxes keep being checked. Interesting!
It sounds like you have multiple layers selected? You can do that to turn them all on or off en masse.

Isn't it easier to just set the Fill color for the Fill Layer to white?
Yes. I was thinking Pixel layer.
In any case, this is a great workaround.

I just put a new fill layer under it.
And then paint bucket it white.
Great idea. Thanks.

Due to the aforementioned influence of other layers, I don't really understand the point of making adjustments on temporarily isolated layers, because after the isolation is finished, the result will change, which I am not able to estimate during the isolation.
The beauty of art is that we're not all the same person.

As it seems, isolation mode only works on Mac. I'm on Windows.
I believe it's Alt-click.

I do know about editing posts (just changed the title), but where are the tags?

you should add "Isolation mode" in the tile or tags in order to make this thread more discoverable.
I'd be happy to do that, but I'm not sure where that is.
In any case, I'm sure the people at Affinity read these threads.
Also, just for perspective, it's not exactly like the whole program is garbage without this small feature.

If you hold the Shift-key and click on the Eye-symbol of one layer in GIMP, all other layers will become invisible. Maybe this would be a solution?
Isolation mode (option-click on a layer) does that, but - as per the linked thread where I asked about this - the issue is that as soon as you click on an adjustment layer, the layers that aren't isolated become visible again.

You mean like e.G. in Audacity, where you can optionally mute one soundtrack or make it the only audible one with just one click? That could be helpful in some cases, I think.
Yes, and every audio program. Audio mixers all have solo buttons.
This would be a little more complicated, since you'd also want to solo child layers. So you'd want to be able to solo groups.

You mean Isolating?
https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/LayerOperations/isolating.html
Yes, but as soon as you click on the adjustment panel the layer stops being isolated.
This does sound like a feature request. Will post in that sub-forum.

You probably forget to consider the effect of layers below which can shine through. The OP request is to get rid of all other layers.
Exactly, that's the whole issue.

So let's say you've selected, copied, and pasted a small part of a pixel layer, creating a new pixel layer with this copied object.
You want to apply, say, and HSL adjustment to just that pasted object. So you insert the HSL adjustment inside that layer, i.e. it's child-layered inside it.
I'm looking for a more efficient way to view just that layer while tweaking the HSL. As it is now, you have to select all the layers below it and turn them off, otherwise you see everything that's visible.
What I've been doing is grouping all the layers I want turned off, turning them off temporarily, then ungrouping them again when I'm done. It's what you call "a bit of a pfaff" in the UK.
Or is this a feature request for the visual equivalent of what in audio is called a Solo button?
Hope this makes sense!
TIA

EDIT: THE PROBLEM WAS THAT I HAD BETTERTOUCHTOOL'S CLIPBOARD MANAGER RUNNING.
I'd forgotten about that feature long ago - never used it. But if you're running BTT - an otherwise indispensable utility - be sure to go in and turn off the clipboard manager for Affinity Photo.

Tablet-curious: iPad as tablet for Affinity Photo on Mac?

Well, I can't speak from experience with a stylus, but a Bluetooth mouse is doing the same thing when you're drawing with it, no?
There are other elements - pressure, mainly - but I'm still surprised. After all, MIDI works very well over Wi-Fi, and there are all kinds of real-time things going on.
In any case, you've tried it, I'm just speculating, so chances are good that you know better than I do.
