  1. Hi @Rainon

    Affinity Photo help (F1) :
    "Adjustment layers also have mask layer properties. Areas of an adjustment layer can be revealed or hidden in the same way as with a mask layer."

    My workflow would be as follow:
    CTRL/CMD + ALT + Click to create a luminosity selection.
    With the selection active, add a curves adjustment.
    Make the adjustments
    Click on the little gear icon to open the Blend Options dialog, and apply the effect only to the highlights.

    If you wish, you can invert (CTRL+I) the curves adj and then use a white brush to paint the effect back in only were needed.

  2. HI @nater973,

    Via  Edit > Preferences > Performance you can define a  File Recovery Interval. I don't know if there used to be a default, just check it out.

    On Windows the files are stored under:
    %APPDATA%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\autosave

    But if you didn't get a recovery message when restarting the app ... it may be something severe ...

    You could also check if there are any crash reports created, 
    %APPDATA%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\CrashReports\Reports

    I still don't understand this. (And I understood none of Wosven's explanation about transparency and a palettized PNG file; sorry.)

    I can tell you how to stop the color from changing, though. Turn off the "Apply to Selection" option in the Color Picker Tool's Context Toolbar, which seems to be on by default:

    image.png.ca087c2e914a5f2839187f37821b2831.png

    But it's also on when I tried it with my file, and nothing changed in my file when I used the color picker, whether I Rasterize the (Image) layer or not.

    Thanks for the TIP ...
