markbowen Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Hi, Probably me doing something silly here (it usually is!!) but I'm having a little problem with adjustment layers in that if I have a layer selected (say a cutout person) and I want to add an adjustment layer to just that person then when I add let's say a curves adjustment layer then it always gets added above the person layer so it then affects the whole image. I can drag it down on to the person layer no problem but just thought that if I had the person layer selected then it should add that adjustment onto just that layer thus clipping it to the layer? Clipping is possibly the wrong terminology here but have come from using Photoshop for many years so still learning all the AP terms. Basically is it therefore possible to add an adjustment layer to a selected layer upon creation of the adjustment or do we have to drag it down to where we want it every time? Many thanks in advance for any help with this. Best wishes, Mark AP Adjustments.mov Edited July 10, 2019 by markbowen Added screen recording Quote https://www.instagram.com/mbphotomanipulationshttps://www.behance.net/mbphotomanipulations Affinity Photo 1.7.2 Mac OSX 10.12.5 Mac Pro (Mid 2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 10, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 10, 2019 Hi markbowen, In Photo Persona go to menu View > Assistant Manager... and set the Adding adjustment layer to selection dropdown to Add adjustment as child layer.
