Sandi Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Hello Photo 2Beta 1781 Windows 11 Pro Yesterday, I could put a pixel layer above another layer and used a paintbrush or inpainting brush and everything worked well. Today, nothing happens on the pixel layer unless I make it a child layer of the layer beneath. This is ok if you are only working with two layers. However if I want the pixel layer to affect everything in my layer panel, I need the pixel layer on top and not a child layer of anything. I then used the same original images that I used in the beta version in Photo 2 (non Beta) and the pixel layer worked the way it should when placed at the top of the layer stack. I go back into Photo 2 beta version and put a pixel layer on top of the layer stack and, again, the brushes do not work unless it is made a child layer of the layer beneath. I have also found that the beta version of Photo2 is very much slower than the non beta version. So I think I am going to use the non beta version in future.

walt.farrell Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 It would help to have a screenshot of the complete application window when you have the problem. Without that, we can only guess. One guess: it sounds like you may have had Project Alpha enabled, which would cause submitting like you describe.

Sandi Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 Thankyou Walt. It really was that simple...'Protect Alpha' was selected. I have no idea why I did not check that. My problem has nothing to do with Affinity...it's to do with AGE!!! walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
