debbru Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 When you make changes to an image, can someone tell me if there is a before & after, e.g when you adjust levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debbru Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 I'm talking about Affinity Photo. When you do levels e.g, before you click Apply, how do you see what the image was like before, & what it looks like once you've done levels.

Gerard O Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 There is a before /after tool in the Develop persona. it is the Blue/white half circles on the mid tool bar. Not sure in the Photo persona. I usually toggle the visible checkbox in the layers panel to display( or not) the adjustment layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 7, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 7, 2018 Hi debbru, Welcome to Affinity Forums To show/hide the effect of the adjustment (or filter) tick/untick the layer's adjustment checkbox on the respective layer in the Layers panel.

Fixx Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 It would be nice to have before/after button, but as now layer on/off is the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Alternatively, before adding your Adjustment(s) you can copy the original image and a do a File > New from Clipboard. Then do a Window > Float All command and position the 2 images side by side. Then when adding your adjustments to the original image you can compare the effect, in real time, side by side to the original. Not as easy as it should be but with a large enough screen it's workable Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
