Thanks for this. Are you definitely using the clone tool when they disappear? The sources images will only show with the Clone Tool and Healing Brush tool selected

haha, thanks! That was the problem!

Thanks! i tried that, but it is empty. The added pictures are not there anymore

[Focus merge source]

I am playing around with focus merge. In the source menu are the photo's used. But when I am using adjustments the photos in the source menu disapear, so I can not change the focus merge anymore. Is there a way to changes of the focus merge after doing adjustments? I hope I made myself clear.

Short answer: With the Photo persona, you work on Adjustment Layers and you can turn them on/off selectively at a later stage. 

With the Develop Persona, you do not work on layers, and all the adjustments are "baked" into the image. 

Thanks,

Gabe. 

Thanks, I will check the post

Hello and welcome to the forum!

I think it might be helpful for you to look through some of the introduction video tutorials here, so you get a better idea of the differences and things you mentioned above! - See here:

• Official Affinity Photo (Desktop) Video Tutorials (200+)

Thanks, I have seen a lot of them. But I want to know a sequence, I don't know when to use them. I am looking for some 'rules'. When you have a certain photo look at this, and if it is like A, you do this and that. If it is like B do this and that. Or do A,B,C,D. A couple of the RAW photo video's are showing different things. And I don't know when to do either one of them. Probably I can do both?? I don't know. 

[questions about using RAW and about filters]

I just started with affinity photo, before I used lightroom, but still a beginner, I just did some basic stuff. 

My first question. When post-processing RAW photo's you start in develop persona. I don't really get why you start there and what the difference is with photo persona. What you can do in photo persona you can also do in develop persona. When I watch the video's it looks like you make the photo looking flat. The rest you do in photo persona. Why? 

When using filters in photo persona there is no layer, so how can I get back to those settings and alter them? Or know what I used in the beginning of processing my photo's. I did the second example photo of the book and mine looks different, more bright. But I can't find any difference when I look at the layers. Where can I find those settings

And I am looking for information about the steps you take when post-processing. Like we say in the Netherlands, I don't see the trees because of the forrest. There is so much you can do and alter. I have no idea where to start or what to use. I have the book, I did the examples. But it is nothing compared to what is possible.  

Thanks!
