jc4d Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hi all, Maybe today is one of those days that my brain is not working properly , but I can't figure out a way to select multiple layers that belong to a group without selecting the whole group. Is there a way to do it? In this example I want to select only the Exposure 1 and Brightness layers to copy them. Cheers, Juan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc4d Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 For me is not working, I have tried all possible combinations. I can select one child layer but at the moment I hold down ctrl or shift or alt and click in the second child layer, the whole group is automatically selected.

jc4d Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 22 minutes ago, >|< said: Your adjustments are mask-nested and mask-nested objects can be selected only one at a time, unfortunately. If they were simply contained in the group, then you could have multi-selected them. Hmmm interesting, but weird limitation if you ask me. Yes, they work if they belong to the group and not nested masks. Thank you for pointing it out. Would it be possible for the mods to move this to feature request? 14 minutes ago, haakoo said: Tried it it out with what you're saying but I can ctrl/shift+click to select multiple and even from other groups/layers. So maybe I'm missing something here? Here is a sample affinity file for you to try out. Multipe_layers.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc4d Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Is from a PS file imported and I just needed those couple of layer adjustments to place then on a new file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Make presets from them, then use those presets in as many documents as you like. You access the presets from the Adjustments Panel jc4d 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

jc4d Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 @firstdefence Thank you, I never thought about it. Just one question, how I load a saved preset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure the Adjustments Panel is open if you can't see it: View > Studio > Adjustment Click on the adjustment and the preset should show in a dropdown with icons showing the effect of the preset, just click on an icon to apply that preset. jc4d 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Thanks, I think the presets feature is mightily underused and is overlooked, this is the great thing about forums, people think in different ways. jc4d 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
