alecspra Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I don't quite understand the behavior of the Gradient tool. I know what it is for and how to use. The problem I have with it is that if I click outside the image or on another layer before I have finished working with the Gradient, there is no way to bring it back so that I can continue making adjustments. Which means I have to be very careful when I use it. At least with some other destructive adjustments, you have to click on Apply before the changes become final, but in this case there is no such a thing. Am I missing something? Is there a way that i am not aware of to bring back the gradient tool if I happen to click outside the image or on another layer by mistake before I am done with it? Thanks!

Staff MEB Posted July 7, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hi alecspra, You can use a Fill layer instead or a regular Pixel layer to keep the Gradients editable. To create a Fill Layer go to menu Layer ▸ New Fill Layer and apply the gradient as usual (i'm assuming you are using Affinity Photo).

alecspra Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 Thanks MEB. I will try that. But why does the Gradient tool behave differently with a Fill layer instead of a Pixel Layer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
