Layers not showing settings?


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to make an image in Photo with a bunch of layers and adjustments and so on. I did it first with low-res images and, since I'm not sure of what everything does, I tried quite a few things. I know what I want the end result to be now, so I'm trying to recreate it with high-resolution images.

But when I look at the layers in my original image stack, things don't look the same. One of the issues I'm having is that I can't see the settings in different layers. For example, I've got an LUT adjustment layer, but when I click on it, I can't see *which* LUT it is and what (if any) fiddling I did to it. It just shows as a LUT layer. I have a gradient layer, but when I click on it, I can't see what the individual points of the gradient are anymore - it's just the flat gradient.

I've tried looking at the layers while in the appropriate tool, but that doesn't help either.

I don't know what to do.

This is probably an obvious but, double clicking on the adjustment layer opens the parameters windows.

Maybe upload a screenshot of the layers panel with any nested layers on show, or upload the Affinity Photo file so we can take a look see.

OMG, so you know the thing where your car breaks and as soon as the mechanic looks at it, it totally works fine?

did that - it's the obvious thing, so I double clicked on every part of the adjustment layer (in the layer panel) and nothing happened. I did it again, thinking, "well, at least I can tell FirstDefence that I tried again..." and it WORKED.

Thank you! (I'm super annoyed, though; why wouldn't it work without me having to look like I can't think of the obvious? :D )
