How to recover a color image that becomes black and white after using spare channels


Recommended Posts

I need help!

I was working on a file and I wanted to apply a pixel selection using channels. I create the selection, make a new spare channel and after working in the image, I press the spare channel and everything became black and white and the thumbnails of each layer became the same. I thought it was a problem in the program, because it crashed just before. I can't revert this, undo is not possible because I save the file and I didn't activate the option to save the history with the file.

The program still recognize the vector lines but all the pixel layers are the same. No idea how to fix it, but it's extremely important for me.

Thank you again for making such great tool!

I think you are going to have to upload the file for us to look at @jarcon

Which Operating System are you using? If Mac you could look back in time machine if you have it enabled?

Have you tried clicking the reset (at least I guess that's what it's called as doesn't show me any text when hovered over - does that need updating Affinity?) button on the Channels palette. Shown in image attached to this post.

If you have and are still having this problem then as above you'd need to attach the file for people to take a look at. Hope you get it sorted soon.

Best wishes,

Mark
