Hi Guys, I am new to Affinity Photo and trying to make it works instead of Photoshop.
Just read these instructions:
First for Highlights (TC1)
- shift/cmd/click on the layer thumbnail in the layer palette for create a selection. Then in the Pixel selection, right click and create a spare channel, rename it (for me TC1)
Second for Highlights 2 (TC2)
- on spare channel TC1, right click load to Pixel alpha. With the pixel layer selected in the layer palette, shift/cmd/click on it to make a selection, then go to the pixel selection, right click and create a new spare channel rename it (for me TC2)
And first point works for me: I can shift/cmd/click on layer and create selection then save as a spare channel.
But second step makes troubles. I can load selection (Pixel alpha) and then when I am clicking (shift/cmd/click) on selected layer nothing happens. I mean selection stays the same. Tried this on simple gradient as well as on photo and I am stuck in that point. It seems Affinity is unable to create selection of highlights inside my active selections.
What am I missing there?
