When working on a project I create certain presets in AP to use for it. When I'm done I want to delete all of them. Is there a way to delete - say all of the presets in the curves tool after I created and used all four of them - in the Developer mode, other than one at a time? Is there way to manage them that I don't know about?

Just came across this new feature that Adobe has added to PhotoShop. Is this something that can be added to Affinity in a year or two (I use this length of time because I know development would take months of hard work)? This looks pretty amazing. https://petapixel.com/2021/03/13/adobe-photoshops-super-resolution-made-my-jaw-hit-the-floor/?fbclid=IwAR2cp9YljHy0s3FxyfDS6QZL2Ec6LCZnOyYKUeNjlSFIhyWf_hwtEzpFgSk

Callum, Thanks! I will try that out today. Cheers!

When opening raw files the default setting is with Lens Correction, Chromatic Aberration Reduction and Remove Lens Vignette are toggled on. I get sharper images when these three filters are turned off. Is there way other than creating a preset and having to change every time I open a file?

Yes, I still have a working copy of PhotoImpact. Corel discontinued it but it is available from a new developer called Nova Development. I stopped using it when I made the switch to Affinity. The problem is UFO files, like aphoto and psd, contain layers and I don't want to loose those or their attributes. I used PI for over 15 years, so that's probably three years of not stop opening and saving ... LOL With AP offering support for other formats I wouldn't think this would be too hard from Serif to bust out in an update.

*Bump*

Great thinking adding this feature. In the next update could you be as so kind to enhance this feature by adding the "Description/Caption" and "Keyword" fields. It would be an attractive feature for photojournalists (like me) who use it. While on the IPTC topic, if you could also add a copy and paste function for IPTC data, that would equally awesome. Thanks! P.S. - I think I'll really like new update if I can RAW images to open in it. It seems the RAW processor is even faster than below.

Ran the batch process again using a different Macro. It worked fine. Somewhere in one of the macro steps there is a conflict with the batch routine I created that made me post orginally. Looks like I'll have to find a workaround and may be isolate the offending step later.

The real problem @walt.farrell is having to sharpen the image again after being processed by RAW engine/persona.

That is true if the image you are processing is 100% or near that of the native resolution of the monitor you are working on. If the pixel dimensions are twice the screen resolution then visually making adjustments at 50%. Hope that makes sense.

I experience the same thing.

When recording macros, the right-click options for layer command options are apparently disabled. The only way to work with multiple layers it appears is to use the drop down menus to select or merge multiple layers.

I have a similar issue. When I sharpen a Canon RAW file, it sharpens fine in the develop persona. FYI - in earlier builds it would sharpen and then go to the default appearance on the screen unless you held the mouse down and dragged the image to a new location on the screen. Then, the sharpening would disappear again. As with @GettingIT was experiencing, when I convert Canon RAW files I have to sharpen and denoise high ISO again after it is converted ... at least so it looks correct on the screen while working AP. However, when I save the jpg and open it in another application, the image is oversharpened to the point I get fine line halos. It appears the sharpen settings are being written to the file but not to the monitor output.
