comparison views

Hello,

 

Are before/after views possible? How is that done?

 

Thank you,

[MEB]

Hi gaperklake,

In Develop Persona you can find icons on the main toolbar for Split/Mirror views (the blue/grey icons).

In Photo Persona, regular (destructive) filters (in the Filters menu) also have those icons available in each filter dialog.

For Live Filters and Adjustments (Photo Persona) you can simply toggle the respective layers on/off unticking the checkbox in front of them in the Layers panel.

I wonder whether a split view between different Snapshots would be viable / interesting / useful?

I am sure it would! Please add that to the feature request forum.

Yes, Aammppaa, Snapshot didn't work for me as a before/after view.

Thanks so much, MEB.

 

I should have specified I was in the Photo Persona. Affinity and I are new to each other.

 

I understand about turning layers on and off. I was trying to compare an image as it was originally opened in Affinity (before any adjustments or layers) with the current layered state, which I presume now can't be done in this Persona.

 

Thank you, again.

There's always the history panel.

Hello Madame,

 

Yes. That works well, as it does in PS, except for simultaneous views.

 

Since I'm working on two screens, I'm going to work in Affinity in Separated Mode with the panels on one screen. That way I can look at a second version of the document (without adjustments) next to the current version.

 

Thank you, Madame, for your further help.

 

My best,
