Hello dmstraker,
a good idea of you.
Let's see what's of the wish list, is realized. The Hope dies last.
1. Development-Persona settings, save in a sidecar file.
2. Rename of the spare channel during the macro recording.
3. Reset all sliders per double Click (Zero or default)
 
Cheers

Yes, we can wish for the moon, but what top three pragmatic changes (that seem 'reasonably easy' to do) would you wish for in the final version of Affinity Photo 1.7?
Mine are:
Use the excellent colour range selection in the new HSL in Select Sampled Colour. Restore HSV checkbox in HSL. Double-click all sliders to reset to default/zero.

I have come across a you tube channel named "InAffinity"  which covers free tutorials for affinity photo.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOnLUmyPHr2rayOHVHWsHVw/videos
What makes this channel unique from others is that the information is provided at moderate pace with logical and scientific reason behind each step.
The moderator is to the point and explains every thing in easy to understand language.
I thought I should share it with everyone and hopefully you will enjoy learning from these tutorials.
If you also know about some thing similar, please share it in the forum.
Thanks

you mean David posts on these forums too?

He, @dmstraker, does a great job with his tutorials. Yep, he's a regular on these forums.

Hi @dmstraker,
I have logged this with our developers as an improvement
Thanks,
Gabe. 

Hi all
At the moment, the box does not seem to have any effect. I have logged it with our developers for further clarification. 
Thanks,
Gabe. 

Just keep in mind that this doesn't work on most sliders :-).

Hey Fritz_H,
We added additional support for resetting Adjustment sliders on macOS so this improvement should also be making its way to Windows at some point  
 

In Channel Mixer, you need to zero the A and B channels and offset each of them by +50% so the result is 50% of max in these channels.
To do the same with Curves, use a horizontal line at 50% of max in both A and B.
To do the same with Levels in 1.7 beta, set output black level and output white level to 50% in both A and B.

Just a special thanks for this one. It's fixed a lot of niggles for me.
See you at the Photo Show next week -- I'll be there Tuesday and will drop by to say hello.

Thank you, Mark. You're a hero! Serif seems to be one of the few software companies that seriously listens to its customers.

@dmstraker @jc4d , we've reverted the change to the Layers panel font size. Thanks for your feedback.

There's been deliberation over this in the office here, as far as we're aware, it works as follows;
 Clip Transparency prints transparent areas by sending out bitmaps line by line and feeding only solid image data to the printer, ignoring any blank regions—rather like a scanning process.
I have however emailed a dev requesting clarification, so I'll update this thread as and when I can  
Performed by App will use your document settings or print dialogue settings to control your colour profile etc, if you set this to Performed by Printer then your Printer can control your colour profile (and other settings) through it's extended properties.
This are industry standard options, I recommend reading more at the following site regarding this - https://www.colourphil.co.uk/rendering_intents.shtml

Related to 2. see:

The issue with this is the text is very unclear unless you're running a retina or 4k monitor. I've just checked on a non retina Mac and the text is much sharper than on 3 different 1080p Dell panels.
Dave has already said that he's struggling to see it with a degree of visual impairment.

The text size on the layers has got smaller -- not good for those of us with a degree of visual impairment.

I noticed this and logged it with the developers last week (as I got it a bit early ). I'll go and bump it for you. Thanks Dave.

Alt-click the mask. Both layers selected. Then Alt-click the mask again. Now you've got what you wanted.
