Adjustments / Live Filters are not merging in the Designer / Photo Personas


Recommended Posts

1. Create an element, fill it.

2. Switch to Designer or Photo Persona and apply an adjustment / a Live Filter on this element.

3. Click on Merge.

Result: Nothing happens, only Delete and Reset work.

That sounds like you're working with a vector object.

That doesn't work in Designer or Photo, either. You can't Merge an adjustment into a vector object. You would need to rasterize it first.

I know, but the point is: The button is there and does nothing and just confuses the user. I am pretty sure "Affinity" knows that I am trying to apply a Live Filter to a vector element. And if "Affinity" is knowing this, then why is the button not called Rasterise and Merge? So you need again another step to rasterise, instead of doing it in one go.

Guess you are right, this sounds more and more like a feature request now.

Yes, because it is not a difference between the applications and the Publisher Personas.
