Lemniscat Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hi there, First post, so here we go: I'm using Affinity Photo or Designer to create a geometrical demonstration with a lot of layers. I need to export, say, 50 different JPG files in order to explain step-by-step the demonstration and obviously each export shows a different combination of visible layers. I would like to be able to save my layers visibility choices so I could recall them quickly. At the moment I have to check/uncheck manually every time I want to export a JPG. Is there a way to save my layers visibility choices? Using the Snapshot command in Affinity Photo isn't really the answer because I want to stay flexible: if indeed I create 50 snapshots, and then do a single change to my work, the snapshots become obsolete and I would have to recreate them again. Did I miss anything obvious? Could it be a suggestion for the next upgrade? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cut Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I really need this too. Something like layer comp in Photoshop. Or, full-screen slices with multiple layer choice would work. ThinkDifferent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks C Hi Callum. I agree with, it would be great. When I was young I use Indesign, I save a lot of time organising layers in Photoshop and Illustrator so, when I import those files to Indesign, I was able to choose which layers I would like to see in that place. The same file (a single file) was enough for lots of imports, just choosing which layers (or layer comps) I need. Please, if it's not asking too much, would you consider implementing this? Really, the workflow is much easier this way. Now, I'm doing the wrong way: place a Designer file in Publisher, double click, choose the layers I need, copy, back to Publisher file, paste and repeat for other places. Then I simple remove the original Designer file I place and finally save. 8 steps, when I should need only 3: place, choose layers, repeat. Thanks a lot.
