Jim57 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I was watching a video from an Affinity Designer course, where a section of the course touches on the Pixel persona and we are shown how to recolor parts of a photo. I believe the course was shot around version 1.8 or 1.9 of the software. I am on version 1.10.5. 1. A section of the base layer is copied and pasted onto a second layer. A recolor adjustment is made to the layer (blue). 2. He then adds a second recolor adjustment layer on top of the first one and makes that recolor purple. While he is adjusting the color of the purple with the sliders, you can see the color change taking place. Note he has both recolor adjustment layers checked on - see screen cap. When I am attempting to do this, I cannot see my adjustments to the purple recolor layer unless I uncheck the blue layer below it. Then when I check the blue layer back on, I cannot see the purple layer. I am on running Mac Monterey 12.6 and using Designer 1.10.5. I tried doing this in Affinity Photo 1.10.5 and cannot do it there either. I submitted this query to the course instructor but have not gotten a response. Wondering if this may be because of either updates to the software since the video was shot, or because of changes to the Mac OS, as I believe I was able to follow what he was doing back when I was running Mojave ( and also on version 1.8 or 1.9 of Designer).

Old Bruce Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I think what you may want is something like this, not the lower layer being to the right.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim57 Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 Old Bruce - That solution which works. What puzzles me is that in the video - as in my screen cap, he did it with both stacked directly in line. Anyway - your solution works and I'm grateful. Thanks again.

Jim57 Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 Walt - Thanks for responding. The course is called Affinity Designer: The Complete Guide to Affinity Designer. As my post mentioned, I did inquire with the instructor. I have not heard back yet and decided to post here in the meantime. Old Bruce was able to give me a solution that works. Thank you for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
