I have just upgraded from V1 Photo to V2.    I am a relative novice so use the software at a fairly basic level.  I am editing RAW files - Microsoft laptop with Windows 10.

I "Develop" the raw file no problem into the Photo Persona.   I continue to edit and the tools on the right side "Adjustments" etc work fine.   The tools on the left side - in particular the Dodge / Burn tool, Inpainting tool, Clone tool - stop working.   No matter what I do I cannot get these tools to function.  However if I Export the edited file (Tiff)  and reopen it these tools function for a while then cease to function.

Any assistance would be most appreciated.  (This has not happened with Version 1) 

Thank you

Peter Mccarthy

Possibly you have the Develop operation set to create a Linked or Embedded RAW image layer rather than a Pixel layer. That is a new option in V2 that allows a more non-destructive workflow, but it will affect how some functions work.

Hello Walt,

Changed back to Pixel Layer and all working correctly.  I will read up on the link you sent - to be honest not sure RAW layer linked actually does..

Thank you
