Thank you so much, that worked as described. It now works that I can double click on the canvas, and I now see a button on the contextual toolbar at the top to "edit document". It does not open the embedded document when double clicking the thumbnail in the layers panel - it still centres on the layer in the canvas. I can also get the same behaviour without the pixel layer, so just having opened the raw file, and saving it as .afphoto I can treat it as an editable document in another afphoto file.

I've made the adjustment as described, and still cannot double click to open the embedded document to make adjustments.

I hear people say that if you double click on the canvas, or on the thumbnail in the layers panel I can open an embedded layer in its own editing window. I have done this at times, and now it just won't do it. Using Affinity Photo on MAC, V1.73, I've tried "placing" and dragging the image into the file, with RAW and jpg images. The layer is not rasterized, but say "image" next to the layer name. If I double click, it resizes the view to centre on the layer in the canvas. What am I doing wrong? Is there some hidden setting that disables this?
