Alex_M Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hi, Since I updated to the new version 1.7 of Affinity Photo I can no longer create adjustment layers as separate layers. They always become a child layer of the layer that is currently selected. I double checked Assistant Manager and I can clearly see that the "Adding adjustment layer to selection" option is set to "Add adjustment as new layer". To be exact, the version I use currently is 1.7.1.404. Anyone else have this issue and how can I fix it?

walt.farrell Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 It's working for me, Alex. What kind of adjustment layer are you adding?

Alex_M Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Any type - gaussian blur, unsharp mask, shadows and highlights, etc. None of them get added as separate layers. Also, why is my background white when it's transparent? It wasn't like that in 1.6, it was checkered. How do I change it back to checkers?

- S - Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 There are two different settings in Assistant Manager: 'Adding adjustment layer to selection' 'Adding filter layer to selection' The adjustments you've listed are filter layers, therefore they use the second setting.

Alex_M Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 That was it! thanks, S. What about the transparent background? I want to make it checkered? It's currently solid white. EDIT: Ok, it seems that the transparency problem got fixed by itself somehow. Odd.
