KellyP2P Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 If I place an effect on a layer, and then decide I don’t care for it and I turn that effect off, is there a way for the settings to go back to default if I decide to turn it back on again instead of the original ones appearing I placed on it? Hope I’m making sense! Thanks! kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted June 14, 2021 Staff Share Posted June 14, 2021 Hi @KellyP2P, If I have correctly understood what you're looking to achieve, then this is certainly possible! Please open the Layers Studio and double tap on the thumbnail of the adjustment/filter layer, this should show the context toolbar for the layer at the bottom of the document. Select the small white arrow on the right hand side of this dialog to change to the second view of settings, here you should see a 'reset' option, which returns the adjustment layer to it's default settings. Please see the below screen recording showing this - RPReplay_Final1623668377.MP4 I hope this helps 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.

KellyP2P Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Hi Dan! Thank you so much for the reply and recording, but adjustment layers are not what I am referring to. My issue is with Effects placed on a layer. For example, if I had an Outer Shadow placed on a layer, the default settings are as follows: Opacity 50% Radius 0.0 Offset 0.0 Intensity 0 Let's say I adjust the settings to: Opacity 50% Radius 25 Offset 15 Intensity 10 Then I decide to toggle the Outer Shadow off. If I go back to toggle it on again, the context tool bar shows the adjusted setting, not the default. I am wondering is there a way to have those settings revert to the default settings, as if I was toggling the effect on for the first time, and not the ones I adjusted them to. I hope I am making sense. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Select the fx and tap the studio fx to bring up the context menu. Now tap anywhere on screen to reset the fx.

KellyP2P Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Thank you! This was helpful! I’ve been playing around with this and it seems as though the only FX I can’t reset in the way demonstrated in the video is an Outer Shadow. It will rest some of the settings to default, but not all. Could this be a glitch? I tried in both Affinity Photo and Designer. Thanks so much for your responses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that when 'tapping' once on the screen, you are only affecting the Radius setting for the FX, this is by design - as the FX are created so that you can tap-drag on the screen to set the radius, or tap once to reset this to default values - however other settings (such as Soften for the Outer Shadow) won't be affected by this tap. As far as I'm aware, the only way to reset the other settings, such as Soften is to change the value manually. I hope this clears things up DM1 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.
