Dr. Dave Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Latest version of Photo. Every time I open a doc, Layer panel cannot be expanded vertically. Horizontal works, but the panel is stuck with half of one layer showing. The only way I get this to work is by clicking on the "Stock" panel sitting aside it, but that only opens it as tall as the Unsplash panel. Second, PNG no transparency??? I come from Photoshop, where I can clearly see the transparency checkbox on export. Photo has nothing like that, unless I'm not seeing it. PNG has transparency, I can see all the layers, but my export background is not transparent. Just checked Designer and Publisher, wanted to make sure I'm not doing something wrong, layers panel is adjustable vertically and horizontally in both.

There are two preset versions for exporting PNGs in the Affinity applications, the one titled PNG on has transparency. PNG 8 (dithered) has no transparency.

Dr. Dave Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 That's it. Thanks! Here's what my Layers panel is locked at - again, the only way I can expand it slightly is to add another panel in the same group, then open that panel.

Old Bruce Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I would close the panel and then go to View > Studio > Layers to get it to show up again and if it shows in the same spot and size then try using the View > Studio > Reset Studio to get back to the default settings. I know that on my Mac there is a sweet spot for changing the size of the various panels, it is frustrating.
