Hi,

I’m trying the trial version of Affinity Photo and I don’t find how to create layers? I thought Affinity Photo was non-destructive?

currently trying to add lens blur or depth of field blue on a photo, but it doesn’t create mask.

 

thank you for helping.

About filters

In Affinity Photo, filters are available in both non-destructive and destructive forms. A variety of filters are available as Live Filters which are non-destructive.

For destructive filters, it's a great idea to make a duplicate layer of the layer you planned to work on. By applying a filter to the duplicated layer, you preserve the original layer's contents, with the option to hide the 'filter' layer as needed.

 

☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan
☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2

Go to View > Studio > Layers to make sure it is ticked. Toggle it on and off in order to see it. The non-destructive layers you probably want are accessed through the icons at the bottom of the layers panel.

You can also do so with the Layers Menu.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
