Layer effects


Recommended Posts

Layer effects are executed quite well in Affinity Photo. However, they do not work well with adjustment layers.

For instance, it would be nice, if the color overlay was actually working here.

Why should it, you may ask, as it then only would display a solid color? Answer: This is true, however, if you use this in Photoshop in connection with Blend If (the cog wheel icon here in Affinity Photo), you can then exactly see which parts of the underlying layer are coming through, which is not quite obvious without the color overlay. (Of course you would switch the overlay off after having edited the Blend If, but it is really useful during the editing process.)

To be honest, it's exactly "small things" like these which make Affinity Photo unnecessarily tedious to work with for me.

AGAIN: This is not about whether or not there are "workarounds" existing, it's about streamlining and optimizing and most of all: speeding up workflows.
