zBernie Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Editing a jpeg file using Affinity Photo for Windows, if I click on the auto color, or auto levels buttons (Right below the "Layer" menu item), nothing changes in the photo. I tried adding an adjustment layer, but clicking these buttons still do not make any changes to the photo. How do I use the auto color, auto levels, auto contrast, etc., buttons? -Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 2, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hi zBernie, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) These changes can be quite subtle depending on the image you are working with. Try with a few different images and you should see the difference. There's no need for an adjustment layer. These buttons will adjust the selected layer automatically (and destructively) for you. Just make sure you are working with a (Pixel) layer - the layer should be labelled as (Pixel) after the layer's name in the Layers panel. If it's identified as an (Image) layer type, right-click on it in the Layers panel and select Rasterise.... Affinity Photo should do this conversion automatically for you assuming you haven't changed the default settings.

I did try several different photos after posting this message, and found that these buttons are in fact working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
