Gradient inside a selection?

[It123]

Please tell me how to place a gradient inside a selection so that I can come back and alter the gradient later, thanks

Thanks but can I ask this another way.  Taking a picture of a house as an example, if I make a selection of the roof how can I add a gradient to the selection and then go back later and alter the gradient if needed.  Then make a selection of the walls and do the same.  I am looking to divide up an image into selections and work on them while they remain in the same image?  Thanks for your help.

What are you working in Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo?

Vector or Raster?

If overlaying a Photo...

1. Select the Free Hand Selection Tool (L)
2. On the context menu select Type: Polygonal
3. Draw a selection around the roof
4. Create a new pixel layer
5. Select The Gradient Tool and drag a gradient out over the selection
6. Change the colours of the gradient nodes to suit.
7. Press Cmd+D Ctrl + D on Windows to deselect the selection

If you want to change the selection.

Cmd + Click on the pixel layer square icon that has the gradient, this will create a selection, now do steps 5 -7

Sorry me again.  I am trying to add a number of different (individual) gradients to the same image (ie one for the roof, one for the house front , one for the background etc) but each time I add a second pixel layer it knocks out the first one.  Help again if you don't mind, thanks

After adding one gradient, group the result before adding the next one. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
