Edits lost after developing RAW (RAF) file - Ipad and Desktop

[Tork_Curve]

Hi,

I'm new to Affinity moving from Adobe so apologies! I'm trying to use the develop persona and on either ipad or desktop, after making changes I seem to lose them all when moved to the normal edit persona - I've tried layers/pixel layers but nothing sticks - same behaviour on both platforms.

Am I doing something wrong? Open RAW, make changes (eg obvious gradient), click develop or tick - no changes...

Any help appreciated,

TC

Ahhhh....I think I have it - gradients are opaque within develop tool and must be adjusted as per other settings.......more tinkering!
