SKT7 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I can save Affinity Photo Gradient Map Preset in Photo. But can't seem to find how to reuse them! Could anyone please help? xicus and Alej 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smadell Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Presets created in individual adjustment panels can only be accessed through the Adjustment panel [View > Studio > Adjustment]. In this case, open the Adjustment panel and click on the Gradient Map line. This will insert a Gradient Map adjustment into your Layer stack, but it should also reveal any/all of your saved presets. Click on one of them to change the gradient map to the one you want. Before you even say it, I also think that the presets should be available from their associated panels (that is, the gradient map presets should be available from the Gradient Map panel, and so forth) but that's a whole different argument.

Nope... this apparently does not work with Affinity Photo 2. I have made and saved several presets and am unable to locate them for use.

Zhandt Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Please point me to the correct location. I made my presets using the Gradient Map Tool in Adjustments, in Affinity Photo 2. Later, when opening another document and seeiing to apply the created map, when opening the Gradient Map Tool none of the maps that I created using the tool appear. All help is appreciated. I recently migrated from Adobe Photoshop and am still going through a bit of a learning curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you mean by the Gradient Map Tool. There is no Tool for this. It is an Adjustment Layer, and the Presets (as with all Adjustments) are available in the Adjustments panel just as they were in V1.

jmzpires Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 In Photo 2, the way to access the Adjustment panel is to go to Window > Adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezumi Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Everything works great but how to save these presets for the future installs - say one day I will upgrade PC and will have to re-install whole system and all apps. Is there a way to backup these presets for such event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted March 19 Staff Share Posted March 19 9 hours ago, nezumi said: Is there a way to backup these presets for such event? There's no direct option for this within the Affinity app - however you can copy your Adjustments.propcol file from one system to another to transfer these. On Windows, these can be found in the following folders: Affinity Store (MSIX) & Windows Store: %USERPROFILE%\.affinity\Common\2.0\user\ Affinity Store (EXE) : %appdata%\Affinity\Common\2.0\user\ On macOS, this file is found under: ~/Library/Group Containers/6LVTQB9699.com.seriflabs/v2/user/ I hope this clears things up nezumi 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
