gumbo23 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 The top layer of a book cover is being somehow overlaid with the color of the bottom layer. They are clearly top and bottom, and the only way I can see the right color for the cover art is by turning off the bottom layer. How do I fix this - and keep them separate? I have tried copying and pasting the original artwork into a new file, but when I put in a background, again the cover art takes the color of the background.

R C-R Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Without at least a screenshot of the Layers panel to refer to, it is hard to say what the issue is or how to resolve it, but from your description one possibility is the 'bottom' layer might be a child layer of the 'top' one.

Is this what you mean? If this is the problem, how do I fix it? I can't seem to drag the bottom layer across to make it a separate layer.

gumbo23 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 You can see what happens when I turn the bottom layer on and off. Colored version is as it should be - with bottom layer off, bw version is with bottom layer on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I am not sure from your screenshot what you are calling the top & bottom layers but the highlighted "Background" layer is set to the Luminosity blend mode & has an adjustment layer of some kind attached to it & effects applied. Is this what you want? gdenby 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this what you want? Nailed it! It was the luminosity blend mode. 1000 thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
