You can kill all layer FX and adjustments from a separate panel. You can also delete individual adjustments and FX from the same panel.In Affinity i need to uncheck applied Layer FX one by one, which took way more clicks. It is strange that for this situation Affinity even don't have global "Reset" button for Layer FX
I'll record a video of this later.
Well, Tab is already navigates between vector points in vector objects. It just don't change focus of the document yet. For me Tab looks like a nice key for special situations.

It's not for fun @Shijan. It works only with filters radius, such as blurs, sharpening, shadow, etc., and no other parameters, which is still consistent in my opinion. If a filter has no radius, then this function does not work. And as I said, it is NOT a major improvement. It's a minor but good improvement for working with pen tablets. Your solution indeed does work. No question.shijan wrote: ↑Wed 05 Feb 2025 11:29 And how that onscreen cursor control should behave if filter have more than one slider? It feels like another "improvement" that Affinity made just for fun but not for work.
Just keep Adjustment panel always open and it give you much faster access to adjustment controls and menu to add new layer.

Hide Panels (F11) is great. I know about it. But consider this. Let's say you're in hide panel model and working on a large and complex composition with multiple objects outside your main canvas. Now, instead of having to press F11 to reveal all panels, you move your mouse cursor to the right, and only the panels on the right (in my set up it is layer list and layer properties, and so on) reveal briefly, until you have to perform a certain quick action. Such as changing layer order, say. And once that's done, you move your cursor, the panel is gone. Likewise, you want to set colour, you hover to the left, and you get the colour editor and tool settings. You want to open a new document, you hover up. And all these panels, along with minimize, close buttons also come with a little pin icon. You click on it, you can pin them to your screen - even in hide panel mode.shijan wrote: ↑Wed 05 Feb 2025 12:10 In Pl you always need to see Adjustments panel, Tool Settings, Layer and Document Attributes. Everything adjusted from these panels. This is how it was designed to work. To be honest i remember in my early days of usage i also was confused a little bit why use panels instead of toolbars and ask to change UI? But later i understand than this UI logic appears to be much faster and logical compare any other apps. Complex apps always use complex UI and many panels. There is a hotkey to Hide all panels (similar to Ps), so you can anytime hide everything and keep only image on screen.
Just hover cursor over any slider (or value field) and mouse scroll. This gives the most precise control and way more accurate than dragging.The sliders in PL are slightly janky. They lag sometimes when you drag behind the mouse cursor. And in order to overcome this lagging, I often switch to keyboard or mouse and use keystrokes or scroll wheel to change parameters.
Sliders handles are already circle. If you see blue rectangles, you probably turn off themming in PhotoLine Preferences. In older versions in Windows circle handles where larger sized, and i liked them better than current smaller sized circle handles.A simple improvement that can help is, instead of vertical rectangles as sliders controls, you have a circle, and you have a program option under "Display" in UI, to increase or decrease the size of this circle. PS has a nifty little diamond for sliders. I don't like them. Circle is clear and easy to click on. I'd also love to be able to control the size of the control handles and vector nodes within UI options.
It always was there and i wrote about this to you in other topic.P.S: What do you know! Scrubbing does exist in PL. But is triggered by middle mouse button!
I just realized the middle click drag works to scrub. Slider handles being circles is new to me. Didn't realize! I'll switch off theming and see. You're always learning new things in PL. Great!Sliders handles are already circle. If you see blue rectangles, you probably turn off themming in PhotoLine Preferences.

For my personal appearance all sorts of Auto hidden panels is the most stupid thing ever made. They literally slow down workflow because for any single slider change you every time need to spend few clicks or move mouse to the edge, then click or hover and then move mouse back to adjustment slider. Also that instant epileptic blinking distracts from thinking about the image.Vivi_Ram wrote: ↑Wed 05 Feb 2025 12:17 Hide Panels (F11) is great. I know about it. But consider this.
