I use presets all of the time but there are a few bugs in the 2.2.0 (1881) build. After making adjustments to an image I create a preset to use with similar images. In this version, when I apply the preset it does take effect, but the categories below are not "checked" even though the effect is being applied. This makes it difficult to know what effects are actually being applied since they are, but it's not "checked". Two exceptions to this is that the "Shadows &Highlights" section and "White Balance" ARE always checked, bit they are not doing anything. Which means that I have to "uncheck" them and then "check" them to see the effect. This is true even if I am NOT using presets. They do nothing until I un-check them and the re-check them. Additionally, even when I "uncheck" and then "check" the White Balance section, I still have to click on one of the sliders (Temp or Tint) to cause the adjustment to take effect. I am using a MacBook Pro, Apple M1 and running Mac OS Big Sur (11.4) Thanks, John P.

Sorry, I'm using iPhoto.

i followed the above advice and it appears to work when looking at the thumbnail image but when you select the image it shows the pre-editted version. Also, if you use it as your background it is the pre-editted version. What am I missing? Thanks, John P.

When I use Affinity Photo, I usually start by dragging a few photos in that I want to compare and see which one/ones I want to start editing. But the photos don't load in order, so the second thing I have to do is drag the tabs in order of filename. If this could be done automatically or by selecting how the images should be sorted it would save a lot of time up front. Thanks, I love this program. John P.
