kat Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 What is layer lock for? It doesn't affect my deleting areas or filling when I accidentally select a locked layer. Thanks for your help. Kat predick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 It is a non movement lock, you can't change its size either. I wish it was a lock that would keep me from deleting or changing the colours etc. kat 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Very sad. I have a locked background white layer. When on top layer, somehow white locked layer is often selected. I don't notice and continue making changes which often deletes small areas. It's a really pain, especially as I can not select layer & unlock and fill the deleted little holes. I have to toss the layer then create a new layer to fill with white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donutfactory Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Added my vote as well to a layer lock that excludes objects from selection. The lack of this feature prevents us from structuring documents appropriately, as we need to restructure layers based on what we want to select, then hide layers to ensure that selections don't include unwanted objects. This essentially makes the app unusable for me. Edited February 21, 2020 by donutfactory clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
