LucasBaun Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Hello, I'm trying out Affinity Photo to see if I'm going to switch from Adobe Photoshop. I was going to try to make some mockups to start with, but I ran into a problem. In photoshop, I could open a layer in a separate tab to edit it there and then go back to the original file with the new changes. I looked around and googled some, but I couldn't find the option for it. Is it only mee who can't find it, or does it not exist in Affinity Photo?

GarryP Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Welcome to the forums @LucasBaun You can edit an embedded document in a new tab by double-clicking on it on the canvas, or its thumbnail in the Layers Panel, with the Move Tool. Alternatively, you can ALT-click any layer’s thumbnail in the Layers Panel to enter Isolation Mode where you only see the layer you ALT-clicked on (and its child layers). However, I don’t think it’s possible to view ‘any-old-layer’ in its own tab, just certain cases work that way (as far as I know). rvsf, Callum and LucasBaun 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
