Layer group randomly converts to pixel layer in Affinity Photo 2


Recommended Posts

In Affinity photo 2 I create a group that contains a pixel layer, when i exit the photo to the main interface then go back to reedit the photo the layer group has become a pixel layer, the group is gone. it happens randomly and not to every photo. Not sure if it is something i am doing or not doing but would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

Hi H-H,

Welcome to the forums :)

If possible could you provide a copy of the file along with a screen recording or steps that can be followed to recreate this issue?

Thanks

Looks like its not a bug but user error.

by editing a selected group layer rather than the pixel layer below it will cause the group layer to flatten, merge into a pixel layer.

Lesson learned, when editing layers make sure the correct layer is selected, and make double sure it is not the group layer selected.

I've tried to recreate the issue many other ways without success, this is most likely the source of my issue.

Thank you for the quick response.

Harley
