Petar Petrenko Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 There is no before / after option to see the effects in any tool in this palette.

Fixx Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Nor there is in any other tool, that is, the standard before/after button. Only some trendy split screen gadget. Also, you cannot use keyboard to handle any adjustment palette: esc – no, return – no, cmd-W no!, cmd-callup character – no, just makes a new adj layer. This means mousing miles.

R C-R Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 All adjustments are nondestructive (unless you merge an adjustment layer), include live previews, can be modified at any time, & can be turned on & off in the layers panel. Isn't this enough?

Richard S. Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 The live preview allows you to see the effect you are applying. Quote High-End Photographic Prints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 If you want a before/after split view, you can mask the adjustment layer with a rectangle (or a triangle, for a diagonal split).

Petar Petrenko Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 I was asking for something like Photoshop's "Preview" check box. It is much easier and faster -- no extra steps to slow down.

R C-R Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I was asking for something like Photoshop's "Preview" check box. It is much easier and faster -- no extra steps to slow down. Since Affinity adjustment layers include a full, canvas sized live preview, why would you need a separate checkbox to enable that? Photoshop needs it because many of its adjustments are based on inefficient older "legacy" code so canvas sized previews can often take several seconds to render (or several tens of seconds for a large image file on a slower computer). Basically, it is a workaround, not a feature.

Staff MEB Posted December 9, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hi Petar_MK, There's no preview for adjustements since they are applied live (in real time) to the layer. You can simply turn them off and on unchecking/checking the respective adjustment layer in the Layers panel to check out how they affect your document. The Adjustment panel displays a few default presets that you can use as a start point (you can also save your own). When you click on one of them you are actually applying a Live Adjustment layer (check the Layers panel), which again is applied in real time to the document.
