I believe that when you click the mask icon it is supposed to cover the picture in back (although you don't see it). select white to cover the area you wish to change. When I depress the mask button the adjustment layer shows white. and when you click on the mask layer it no longer shows a black parent and a white child. Help me please What must I do to correct this. I used the repair function in 1.8.3 upgrade, it changed nothing. I need a little help.

1495A did not make it. I only had the background showing in the LAYERS PANEL..

Callum@ Here are six files that show what I am experiencing. When I pick an adjust, for instance BRIGHT/CONTRAST, it appears in the layers display and in the history below that. After the MERGE finishes the layer showing BRIGHT/CONTRAST disappears although it remains in the history. If I click on the SET ADJUSTMENT PARAMETERS, it reapers in the layer box, and remains. I have gone to view on the content tool bar, scrolled to studio, and tried both with the LAYERS checked and unchecked with no change, OBTW I am using the latest version of AFFINITY. I am enclosing 6 partial screen shots that should let you see what the problem is. Your interest in helping me is appreciated. DSC_1495A.NEF

Somehow I have selected something that causes the layers panel to show Adjustments up when you hit merge. The the adjustment is gone, although still in the history. Click on it once and it successfully post to layers. I. have tried unsuccessful to find the button that changes it back to the original setting. This second approach solves the problem but really disrupts my work flow. Your guidance here would be gratefully appreciated.
