LyricsGirl Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 My eyesight is not good and I use 2 monitors with 2 different settings for ease of use. I find that working on a single layer (image) the image gets distracted with surrounding images/colours. Yes I can select layers by clicking them on or off but it would speed up workflow if I could click on it and hold the mouse button down on it for 3 seconds would automatically turn OFF view of all other layers. So this is more like an accessibility issue than anything else. Just a suggestion. Thank you. Karl Toon 1 Quote

Doesn't Isolation Mode do what you want? Karl Toon, Callum and LyricsGirl 2 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

walt.farrell Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 I think, as @carl123 suggested, that Isolation Mode might satisfy your request: https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/pages/LayerOperations/isolating.html Karl Toon, TomM1 and LyricsGirl 1 2 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

BARBAKANE Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Perhaps instead of "isolation mode", which sounds a little confusing, perhaps use "solo" instead. I use a digital audio program and when you are working with twenty tracks hitting "solo" mutes all but the relevant track. Same idea. Easy peasy. Quote
Leo Leong Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 What if i want just 3 layers out of 30 layers? Instead of just one. Is there a way to do so? Quote

The fastest way: click on the top layer shift-click on the bottom layer to select all command-click on the 3 layers you want to keep visible to deselect them click one of the checkboxes of the selected 27 layers to disable them all Leo Leong 1 Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2

Lock the 3 (or any amount of) layers you want to keep visible Select > Select all Layers Layer > Hide Select > Deselect Layers Layer > Unlock All The last 4 steps can be made into a macro if you do this often Leo Leong 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

jay27flow Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 This whole thing is a joke right? I mean the lack of this functionality... like an ALT-click on the checkmarks... deeds 1 Quote

And it's so badly designed, and operates so poorly, and is done in such a careless manner that it's beyond a joke. Quote
