Alleyesonme Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Hello folks, I imported a 1080p image into the program and the layers panel does not show up. I attempted to duplicate the image and I get nothing. Is there something I'm missing or is it a bug in the program? I'm on Windows 11 laptop. Thanks Phillip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @Alleyesonme. It's probably something you're missing. First, which application and release are you using? Next, what kind of file was it? Especially, what is the file extension? Can you give us a screenshot of the application window?

Do you mean the Layers Studio panel is missing from the UI? If so, make sure your V2 app is set to show it in the Windows menu.

BlueLiner Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 My guess is R C-R is right. This may happen to you as well... When I first started using Affinity, the TAB key got me. If you press the TABkey , most everything disappears except the workspace, press TAB again and it all comes back. Give it a try. It is handy once you know what it does.

cybertec69 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 How about being able to fill the studio panel with the filters, instead of having to constantly scroll up to the layers tab, then scroll down to layers to pick the layer that you want to chose. In Affinity 1 I can see all the layers in the studio panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Affinity 1 I can see all the layers in the studio panel. I don't think I understand that. Sorry. As far as I know, V1 and V2 are quite similar in this area. Can you provide a screenshot or two to illustrate your problem, or a screen recording?

I am talking about the adjustment layers, they don't show up in the studio panel on the right side of the screen like they did in Affinity one. When I import a file for edit, I have to go to the top of the page, go to layer right after documents then scroll down to new adjustment layer and choose the layer that I want to use, which is tedious. In version one all the adjustment layers showed up in the studio panel on the right side. No need to go to layer, then scroll down to new adjustment layer and then scroll again to chose the layer needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy T Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I just had a situation where I accidentally undocked a panel group (layers/adjustment/brushes), which then hid from view behind other windows. The layers option was ticked in the windows menu and my nav was still there, very disconcerting. It wasn't until I minimised the whole ui until it became visible again. I think I'd just dragged the title bar of the panel group in attempt to resize/reposition it, which isn't actually possible once it's docked.
