Error message: Please select an RGB pixel layer before entering Develop

[cdebrah11]

Hi all,

I am new to Affinity and photo editing for that matter. I downloaded a photo to Affinity and wanted to adjust/develop it but when I click the Develop persona I keep getting this message

"Please select an RGB pixel layer before entering Develop"- I have tried various buttons in vain. Need help. Thanks

Hi Charles,

 

and welcome here …  :)

 

The message simply tells you that you need to select a RGB pixel layer on the layers list (by clicking the respective entry on that list), before you can apply functions of the Develop Persona to that layer. For the differences between layer types in Affinity Photo please have a look here:

Kind regards, Alex  :)

Thanks Alex. That solved my problem. Another basic question please. Which one of the tutorials in the Affinity library will give me a thorough breakdown of how to develop and process a RAW and a JPEG images. As I mentioned I am new to this. Never used Photoshop nor any Photo editing tool before but I find the Affinity very exciting and would like to learn how to use it. Thanks again.
