develop

well, I found this forum. Please ignore it in the bugs forum -

Hellos again. Pardon what may seem like a silly question..  When I open an image [and it took me awhile to figure out how to get to develop], then go to develop, I cant seem to be able to edit anything..  Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong? If i move any of the sliders the image doesnt change at all  ... TY.  dw

Can you give us more details?  Are you on Win or Mac?  What version of Affinity Photo are you using?  What type of file are you opening, RAW or JPEG/TIFF/etc.?  How are you opening the file?

Meanwhile, on my Win 11 laptop, using v2.5.3 of Affinity Photo 2, I can't reproduce your problem.  The sliders in the Develop Persona change the image.

... screenshot (full app), video, example file?
P.S. hard to advise "what you are doing wrong" without any information about "what you are doing".

1.  Windows machine. using the most current version.

2. I open a file [jpg, tiff, etc]. create a new layer. open develop. Everything works [sliders] but the image does not change.

What type of layer?

I think maybe you are trying to develop a blank pixel layer? Try unticking the  . Show All Layers , at the top of the screen .  You don't need to go to Develop persona if it is not a Raw file.

It may be that you have an empty Pixel layer selected

Why open Develop Persona for developed image? All functions for editing already developed images, i.e. for JPEG, TIFF, etc. are available in Photo Persona.
