Fotonity Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hey guys, first post here. New to Affinity Photo and love it so far. I need some help with the flood tool. I don't think I will ever use it at 20% but it always revert to that value from one document to the next. Is there a way to set it to 100% as default? I saw a post dated from a year ago saying sticky values were in the works for tools. Any progress on that front? Or maybe some of you would know how to fully turn to black an adjustement layer in a quicker way? I like to paint from the layer the local adjustements that I need and would appreciate either the flood tool to always be 100% or to be able to create an adjustement layer that is black by default, which would be even faster. Any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will then fill just the Adjustment layer with black and allow you to brush in the Adjustment where you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried this? Select the adjustment layer From the Layer menu, select "Invert" or use the keyboard shortcut for that Paint on the adjustment layer with a white or grey brush to reveal the adjustment wherever you want.

If yes, the problem is the same, the defaults values are not appropriate and the values I set are forgotten every time I select the tool. 14 hours ago, R C-R said: Have you tried this?

That is perfect! Ctrl-I set the layer to black instantly. Thank you so much for the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
