  1. Hi Walt, I grabbed one from the internet and saved it locally (had NO embedded ICC profile or metadata.), then placed it my document (> image layer) .
  2. I didn't claim it was colored in previous versions, I was just wondering, since in the affinity tutorial (MAC) it's colored.
  3. Works fine for me ... According the help file : "... adjustments and masks can be applied to the group and will affect all the layers within the group but not those outside the group."
  4. That's the problem, your BLACK mask hides everything in that group.
  5. HI @IPv6 @fotojindra It has nothing to do with grouping. I think you made it way to complicated. You added two separate masks filled with black (black seals, white reveals !!). So it's obvious almost everything is hidden. You added a levels adj with a LAB colour format set to master component. If you select the lightness component and adjust the gamma slider to taste, you can directly paint on the build in mask of the levels adjustment. If that is what you intended to do ? See attachment ... Hubert lel59_adjusted.afphoto
  6. What are you trying to achieve ? Just adding a mask to a group doesn't affect the layers or masks it comprise until you paint on that mask ! If you don't mind, could you upload the .afphoto file so we can have a look at ?
  7. Hi, I'm wondering why for the levels adjustment the histogram at the top is grayed out ? Hubert
  8. Hi martifingers Welcome to the forum. I'm afraid that's not possible (at the moment) in AF. Instead, with your selection active, add a mask. Deselect. Invert the mask. File > place your second image, and drag it behind the first image. Use the move tool to (re)position it. Hubert
  9. Difficult to say whats going on without a print screen ... So could you upload a full print screen ? Context toolbar and layers panel visible please .
  10. Select the Move Tool (V) and drag out (this will make a cut-out !!) CTRL+J to copy it on a new layer
  11. That's because Document > Transparent Background is unchecked ! The white you see is the white of the canvas ... If you add a New Layer, it's by default transparent.
  12. One can also group different adjustments and apply the gradient masking to that group. Here I added a single exposure adj to the bottom part, and a group adj to the upper part.
  13. Indeed ... Here's an interesting article that disrupts that myth ... https://www.photoshopessentials.com/essentials/the-72-ppi-web-resolution-myth/
  14. A click on the little arrow in front that layer reveals a nested (image) layer. Image layers are a "special" layer type that retains all the original image data. But they cannot be edited/manipulated at a pixel level. For that they must be rasterised first. Hubert
  15. Select the "Page1 (artboard)" layer, right click on it and choose rasterise .... and then it will work as expected.
