Designer V2 Ipad Single Object Adjustments

[BCGUY]

Good day everyone.   I frequently create print ads with with Designer.  My projects always have multiple photos and text.   I can not figure out how to brighten a single photo.  If I select the desired photo and then click on adjustments it will automatically deselect the object when I click on brightness (for example) and apply it all the photos in the project.   “ I would like to adjust brightness and saturation for one specific photo and not have it effect the entire project” 

If anyone has any idea please let me know.  Thanks.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

Are you working with V1 or V2 of Designer?

Hi Walt,

I am using V2 of Designer.

Thanks.

It doesn't really matter that the image is deselected. What matters is where the Adjustment layer is added, which is controlled in the Assistant Settings. I think that by default they are added to the top of the stack in Designer 2, because the Assistant is set to "Take No Action" when adding an Adjustment. But you can change that to "Create Adjustment Layer Based on Selection", which will nest the adjustment layer into the selected image, where the adjustment will affect just that layer.

(Alternatively, you could drag the Adjustment onto the layer you want it to affect, using the Layers studio.)

I will give that a try today.  Thank you so much for the information.  That would make it much easier as I usually have multiple photos and adjust each one differently.
