ClaudiaR Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi! I am new to digital retouching and my question is very elementary. My changes (i.e. liquifying, burning, etc.) are not showing when I work on new layers - they only show if I work on the background. I made sure to create pixel layers. Am I missing a step? What am I doing wrong? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 20, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi ClaudiaR, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) If you are using the Liquify Persona you must press the checkmark button on the bottom of the interface (with the View Tool selected - the hand icon) to "submit" the changes. Regarding the Burning Brush Tool, have you checked the opacity slider on the context bar on the bottom of the interface? Is it set to 0%?

ClaudiaR Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Thanks for the prompt response! Yes, I had researched this forum and found how to commit to the changes but I am referring to not seeing any changes at all on the screen as I am working on a layer. Thoughts on what I am doing wrong? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 20, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 20, 2017 If you using these brush tools on new - empty - layers (which don't contain any data) then they have nothing to work with. If you want to dodge/burn something non-destructively please check this video tutorial. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaR Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 That makes sense. I will then need to copy the background into the new layer, I assume? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
