When making edits to photos, how can I view the original unedited photo, to compare the edits?

Using Affinity Photo 1.52 on my Windows 10 machine, I loaded several .psd files with a text layer. I then select that layer, and the text has grab handles surrounding it. I can move the text. But I can't resize it, or edit it in any way. I could have sworn I was able to edit a text layer previously. Maybe you can on a Mac?

I have an HP Pavillion with 24" monitor with an Intel HD Graphics 530 and Nvidia GeForce 930MX. The display is running at 1080p. As I said I've also tried changing the retina display option, and the "Renderer" from Intel to Nvidia, to no avail. Or changing the display to 100 or 125% did not resolve the issue. Actually I have not tried 150% because that is just too large for me.

It is now 3/28/2018 and this problem persists with version 164.4.104. I cannot resolve the issue by setting my display to 100%, or 125%, or 150%. I've also tried changing the retina display option, and the "Renderer" from Intel to Nvidia, to no avail. Affinity needs to fix this issue, as it makes Affinity Photo nearly useless.

I had the same issue and used your retina setting suggestion, which alleviated the issue. -Thanks

When I open a photo taken with my Panasonic Lumix camera in AF 1.6, it briefly fills the entire canvas, but then shrinks to about 1/6 of that size, with the rest of the canvas composed of gray and white squares. See the attached photo. Any idea how to prevent this?

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I tried using the inpainting tool to remove an object (a snowman) from one photo, and I was going to paste it into another photo, but evidently it is not copied to the clipboard. Can someone tell me the simplest way to copy an object like a person or a snowman, and paste it into another image? -Thanks

I was able to select "Document/Rasterize" from the menu. I was then able to paint in my selection. But when I tried the inner glow effect, nothing. I need more practice! -Thanks

To have some fun with my 7 year old, and also as a learning experience, I wanted to take a photo of him and make his eyes glow yellow. So I did the following in AP for Windows version 1.50.45: 1. Opened a .jpg of my son. 2. Used the Marquee tool to make selections around both of his eyes. And now I cannot manipulate the photo at all. I was trying for an "inner glow" effect. But I can't even paint the photo, either inside our outside of the selection. I tried flattening the layers, but that had no effect. I looked at some selection tutorials, but was not clear on what I am doing wrong. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong with this? -Thanks

Thank you. I did try several different photos after posting this message, and found that these buttons are in fact working.

Editing a jpeg file using Affinity Photo for Windows, if I click on the auto color, or auto levels buttons (Right below the "Layer" menu item), nothing changes in the photo. I tried adding an adjustment layer, but clicking these buttons still do not make any changes to the photo. How do I use the auto color, auto levels, auto contrast, etc., buttons? -Thanks
