Sandig Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I am still a beginner and I am almost embarrased to ask, but how do I get the drag and burn tool to work? I see on the bottom text that says drag and an arrow, but I must not be doing it correctly because nothing happens. Thank you Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 29, 2015 Staff Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hi Sandig, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Make sure you have the correct layer selected. If it's identified as (Image) in the Layers panel, right-click on it and select Rasterise... Also make sure the opacity in the context toolbar (right above the work area) isn't set to a low value. Did you have disabled the Assistant? It should rasterise the layer automatically for you when you start painting over an Image layer type.

Sandig Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hi. I appreciate your taking the time to help. I clicked the icon for the dodge/burn tool that I found after watching the lighting tutorial. I didn't realize a layer was involved. Is there a tutorial you recommend I watch for better instruction? I am a food blogger and there is nothing in the tutorials that are really geared towards my niche so I am having to piece things together. Thanks again Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
