You can use the gradient tool

Kind of yes for answer, AP is not a DAM and you have some few options to help with culling your images. With some search on this forum you can come to fastrawviewer or camera bits or you can even use bridge from adobe to be way faster than opening them all one by one in AP, there is also other program too! They go from free to expensive, yours to choose what fit your workflow. https://www.fastrawviewer.com/about-and-features https://home.camerabits.com/

It work, there’s been quit a few thread regarding this. windows or mac?

Work on Mac but... still same issues with Viveza and HDR efex

Good start, click “monochrome” box bottom left. Then change blend mode to linear light or overlay and reduce opacity because you probably over did it. Voila!

Group your live filters, bring it above the pixel layer and merge down. Or just like Carl said, right clicking the pixel layer and select rasterize

“cmd” “G” to group them then you can select merge down.

Nope, one at a time and same way if you want to save them.

It doesn’t take too long to load and save them though, click on luts name copy/paste so you don’t have to type anything. You should get that done in like 5 min.

Nope, one by one while you enjoy your coffee!

Here’s a quick tutorial

I understand your point but I have to give 100% yes for split forum. How many time you start reading to realize its for Designer or Publisher or Photo, because it wasn’t stated in the title which app was it for, its like every morning there’s 8 new pages of new threads, how many are for AP in those? Because I don't have Designer and no needs of Publisher, now I don’t care about pass the 2nd page, also because Publisher just been released... that’s getting more thread than AP & AD together. just simple please, 3 apps, 3 forum sections.

On Mac you open AP, go to preference / colors, and change both default RGB profile.

Maybe its time for Affinity to split the forum in 3 categories, one for each application so you can follow the one(s) you use.

maybe an option to go in "edit" open with... all 3 Affinity software icons, plus the ability to add some RAW software you use like C1, PL, Luminar, ON1 etc..
