Janabanana Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Hello everyone! Thank you for taking the time to help a newbie. My question is : how do I move on after finishing a task/adjustment? I've selected and brightened a portion of a picture and I've saved it but when I go back to the picture to make another selection and adjustment, Affinity makes those changes to the original section I worked on. I can't get it to recognize the new selection. Is there something I need to do to 'quit' the old selection and move on to the new one? Thank you!

firstdefence Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 It might be you still have the adjustment layer selected in the layers panel, so check you are not still on an adjustment layer and/or the new adjustment layer isn't a child of old adjustment layer, I've done this several times.

walt.farrell Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 If you've created a marquee selection (pixel selection shown by marching ants) then try Cmd+D (Mac) or Ctrl+D (Windows) or from the menu, Select > Deselect. Or, for a new selection, just make sure the "New" option is chosen in the Context Toolbar for the selection tool you're using: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
