pedropedro Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Just starting out - within the various adjustments there are presets - if I click on one, the image does not change - am I missing something? - thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 This seems to be working fine for me. Which presets are you using. Do you have the layer with the image on selected (I.e noi a mask layer or adjustment layer). ?

pedropedro Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 within an adjustment - let's say levels - once I open it an adjustment box pops out and there are three presets inside - default - darken - lighten - if I click on darken the image that I see does not change - I can do it myself using the pop out box but not by clicking on the preset - same goes for and of the adjustment panels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 9, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi pedropedro, That's weird. Do you have only one layer (named Background) in the layers panel and it does nothing when you select one of the presets? Can you try to reset the application? To do it press and hold ⌃(ctrl) while launching the app, then select Clear from the dialog that will appear. Does it still behaves the same way?

pedropedro Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 so I did a reset - opened an image - in the layers there is background then levels adjustment on top - that is highlighted in blue and both levels have a check - when I go to the adjustment panel - levels - and click on darken nothing happens - again I can manually adjust but not able to use the preset as a starting point for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 9, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 9, 2015 When you apply a preset from the adjustments panel, Affinity Photo automatically creates the corresponding adjustment layer (named Level adjustments in your example) in the Layers panel. If you double click this layer's thumbnail it should open the Levels dialog where you can manually adjust the Levels. If you click on one of the presets in the Adjustments panel it should update the Levels Adjustment layer in the Layers panel to reflect that preset. The adjustments are never applied to the image directly. Any chance you can create a videoclip of what you're doing? We must be missing something here...

pedropedro Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 and no, we seriously are not missing anything - it is exactly as I described - it is weird for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 9, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 9, 2015 Sorry, that wasn't what i meant to say. I'm not questioning what you are seeing in any way. It's just i'm a little lost here at the moment. Just out of curiosity: which OS are you running?
