Thanks. On the mac there doesn't seem to be an alt key and there's no left mouse button. I have fn, control, option and command with a magic mouse (no buttons). Typically I use control or option to activate a left click type function but none of those seem to work when I'm using the brush tool. I hope that helps. Looking forward to finding an answer.
Go in your setting / mouse / and enable right click with your mouse.

Thank you, firstdefence.
When I do that, the adjustment only affects the pixel layer underneath. Obviously, that would usually be what you'd want but I would like to be able to increase the contrast in the actual mask itself. When I click alt + the mask to reveal the b&w image, I can't seem to make any adjustments to it. Is there a way you can do that?
when you create that selection its from the pixel layer below, yes and its normal. Once you have you selection with marching ants, add a curve or a brightness/contrast if you want and it will be in a mask, the deselect the selection and do what you want to adjust and add more if you want.
here’s a quick tutorial how to create luminosity mask

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.

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!

Thanks but that does not work. May be there is a problem I should report, plus I want to merge only the part highlighted and nothing below it
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.

-
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.

On the contrary, in practice there is a very large amount of commonality among the apps:
Tools: All 3 have the same View, Zoom, Move, Node, & Pen tools; the same 19 vector shape tools; the same Frame & Artistic Text tools, the same Color Picker Tool, & (except for the name) the same Fill/Gradient tool. All 3 offer the same method of customizing the Tools Studio panel & the same option of combining some tools into one fly-out or not. Each of the tools has almost identical context toolbar options, including the various new enhancements introduced in the 1.7.x versions.
Studio Panels: All 3 have the same Layers, Transform, Navigator, Color, History, Swatches, Assets, Styles, & Snapshots panels. Only Photo lacks the Stroke & Appearance panels; only Designer lacks the Stock panel. All 3 apps use the same method for combining Studio panels into floating or docked tabbed group or individual panels, the same method for collapsing a panel or group into just its header, the same method for controlling panel widths & where applicable their heights. All 3 offer at least one left & one right Studio group -- here the difference depends on the OS, not the app.
Workspace: All apps support the same document ruler options, including units & origin changes; the same color space & profile options; the same guides & grids options; a status bar that dynamically shows tool options; the same method for customizing the Toolbar; & many of the same app preferences.
Troubleshooting: All 3 apps have the same method of invoking a reset & most of the reset options apply to all 3 apps. Tips about how to resolve problems encountered installing one of the apps almost certainly applies to the others as well.
Other: All 3 apps share a common native file format, so any of them can open a document created by any of the others. All support every feature of the others in some way even if they cannot create them, which means those who currently only own one or two of the apps can still open & (with permission) use files created by someone who owns the other(s). The same is true for assets, brushes, styles, etc. The licensing terms for all the apps are the same except for minor differences in the terms of the 3 stores they can be purchased from.
Bottom line: The apps are far more alike than they are different. Questions about how to use the features of one of them, or how to resolve issues with one of them, are just as (if not more) likely to apply equally well to all of them.
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.

but others are going to want the ability to do Raw file processing and others are going to want to be able to use Photoshop plugins
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..
-
now that Affinity is set with AP, AD and now Publisher, is there some more work in progress for a DAM interface?
no import needed, using your file folder/renaming/creating/organizing, drag and drop, rating with numbers/colors/stars, option to open file with a selection of preferred software.
What else to be included?

http://www.miguelboto.com/affinity/photo/plugins-support/mac/
that's a list of what is supported. all you can do is save as .tiff or .dng and open in the other software.

I am reasonably sure that only works for *.macros files, not *.macro files. The plural extension is used for macro categories, which are imported into the Library panel. The singular one is for individual macros, which can be imported into the Macro panel, but like @walt.farrell said, only if there is a document open in the app.
Dragging may also be a Mac only thing, but I am not sure about that.
I thought only macros only could be imported not those without the “s” ?
I don’t run AP on PC so I don’t know neither is drag and drop work for them.
-
I usually just drag the macro to AP icon while AP is running, never had issues doing it this way. A pop up window the appear saying its been install without issues.
maybe not the what supposed to be done but its faster then going in burger menu choosing import, locating the macro then import it.

To apply the crop yes, you click apply or enter on keyboard.
Once you select crop tool (c), you can choose unconstrained, original size or custom size, to get the lock to edges, if I’m not wrong is from the red U shape magnet icon top middle bar. When you move your crop selection you’ll see a red and green line appearing meaning you’re aligned horizontal and/or vertical.

Gradient packs
in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Posted
The gradient pack can be installed in AP, that’s an afpalette file, go in swatch / hamburger / import.
