BrendaWhite Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I am an amateur user of Affinity photo. I just purchased a bundle of presets for Affinity from Inkydeals.com and I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that I don't know how to get them into my program. Other posts refer to a Presets Manager but I can't find that in the software. Can someone please help this "newbie"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Bohn Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 You're posting in the Publisher Beta forum but you're asking about Photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 But to try to answer the question, what are the file names of some of the presets? Or, what is the URL of the set you purchased? -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendaWhite Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Sorry about being in the wrong forum - I'm new to this too. The files are all .cube files and I got them at https://www.inkydeals.com/deal/affinity-best-photo-presets/ Thanks for any help you can give.

The files are all .cube files and I got them at https://www.inkydeals.com/deal/affinity-best-photo-presets/ Thanks for any help you can give. Files of format .cube are 3D LUT files, and you would import them using a LUT Adjustment (Layers studio panel, or Adjustments studio panel): You can see their effects and select them from the Adjustments studio panel: Note that having a large number of LUTs installed will slow down the presentation of that panel, as Photo will need to create all those thumbnail views of how the image would look with the LUT applied to it.

fde101 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 The .cube format is somewhat standardized; in theory those should work in a wide assortment of programs, which makes me wonder why they are marketing them that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
