Cannot open palettes for adjustments

[Elizabeth Klisiewicz]

I just upgraded to the latest version of Affinity Photo on Windows. And I am dismayed that I can no longer make adjustments to palettes. For example, for Levels, in the older version, I could double click on the palette and it would open the Histogram so I could make black, white, and gamma adjustments. That no longer works. Please tell me how I can get this setting back. I am supremely annoyed that there seems to be no place in Preferences to get this default behavior back.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @Elizabeth Klisiewicz.

This was an intentional change made to the Adjustment panel to resolve some problems. Now:

• Click on adjustment category, e.g., Levels
• Click on a Preset, e.g., Default
• The adjustment layer will be created and the adjustment dialog will open.

Or, you can use the adjustments icon at the bottom of the Layers panel, or Layer > New Adjustment from the menu.

Thank you for explaining the behavior change. Much appreciated.
