How to apply adjustments to layers, how to order the adjustments, how to apply the adjustment to one layer or to all the layers or just some layers, how to re-display the properties for the adjustment in Affinity Designer and how to mask the adjustment so part of the adjustment is shown and part of the original layer is displayed (via pixel persona in Affinity Designer). A quick guide to a number of the features of using the adjustments (though not about a particular adjustment and how to use that such as curves etc)

Go to the swatches panel and set the palette / category to gradients and then click the button adjacent to 'add current fill to palette'. Use this approach to create 100s of great gradients for future use in your projects
