Im trying to recreate the latest Spoongraphics tutorial with Affinity Photo.
Text is treated with various layerstyles, then turned into a chrome or colourchrome effect with a gradient map.
However im struggling with recreating the procedure, because no matter what i do, the 'Gradient Map Adjustment' is always applied to the background (a Fill Layer), which i want to stay black.
I tried putting the text with the FX and the 'Gradient Fill Layer' into a group, but there seems to be no way to clip the 'Gradient Map Adjustment' to the group, so that it only affects the texteffect.
Is this not possible with AP or am i doing something wrong ?
The only solution i could think of was adding a mask to the group (see image 3)
