Applying an adjustment to a specific layer in Affinity Photo


Recommended Posts

I'm having a problem applying an adjustment to a single layer. Wherever I place the adjustment layer, below, above or on top of a layer, the change affects all the layers. I have turned off the 'edit all layers' button at the bottom left of the layers panel. I'm at a loss at what to do. Can anybody help? I'm working on an iMac.

Yes, I've tried this.

If that didn't work, then please give us a screenshot showing the Layers panel. A sample .afphoto file might also help.

It is now working. I moved the adjustment layer from the layer's thumbnail and tried positioning it above and then below the thumbnail. No change. When I put it back onto the layer's thumbnail, it worked. Seems a bit flaky. Sometimes it works, sometime's it doesn't.Thanks for all the help.

Just make sure you are placing it in the Layers panel on the thumbnail, not farther over to the right & it should work every time.
