marble51 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I'm trying to do something in Affinity Photo which doesn't seem to be possible. I selected an area of an image and created a Fill Layer from that selection. I then selected a Bitmap fill and scaled it accordingly. All good so far but now I want to adjust the contrast of that bitmap but whatever adjustment I try (Levels, Brightness/Contrast, etc.) has absolutely no effect. I finally had to flatten the image and re-select the area containing the bitmap fill in order to apply my adjustment but I think I must be missing a trick here. Any advice?

walt.farrell Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 You could try Rasterizing the Fill Layer, so the adjustments have a Pixel Layer to operate on.

One way: Right-click the layer in the Layers panel and choose Group.
