How to stamp visible image as a new Layer

[Brandon Rodriguez]

Hi Everyone,

 

I am currently making the jump from Desktop/photoshop to Ipad/Affinity and figuring out how to best implement my desktop workflow into the Ipad. The main issue i have currently is the fact that I am missing how to stamp visible image since I do not want to merge the layers, specially because I tend to tune it up later on in case I do not like the final image. 

 

Hope Anyone can help me, and thanks in advance!

Hi Brandon Rodriguez,

Welcome to Affinity Forums

By stamp an image i believe you mean to insert an image as a new layer. If so, press the three dots icon on the top left of the interface (in Photo Persona) and select Place ▸ Place from Photos/cloud. Select the file you want to insert then tap the canvas to simply place it, or tap and drag to set the size of the inserted image before it's actually placed on the document.

Let me know if i misunderstood you question.

Hey! 

Thanks for the reply! 

 

I see how this can be misleading, but it is not insert a photo. So what I would do in desktop would be insert the image and make adjustments, and then with each new adjustment layer instead of duplicating the image I would stamp visible image, which is the image with the changes but as a new layer, without merging them together.

This is the best example I could find in video:

Hi Brandon, what I think you are asking is does Affinity support none destructive editing, well the answer is it does, but you have to do things the right way using adjustment layers. It's best to watch all the official tutorials, try this one for starters:-
