i5963c Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 In the Info panel of Affinity Photo, there are by default 2 samplers. It is possible to add more samplers. But, as soon as a document is closed, the application always returns to 2 samplers. Without open documents, all samplers are removed. Is there a way to enforce that extra added samplers are persistent across multiple documents, and across consecutive AP sessions? Many thanks.

Old Bruce Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Not to my knowledge. I have never had any real persistent need for more than two to start with.

i5963c Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Oh, I find 2 samplers a bit limited. I don't know why, but I very much like to have always 2 color models in parallel for each sampler point (RGB and LAB, the latter especially for the luminance). If I want to bring two areas 'in balance' with local filters and/or dodge & burn brushes (e.g. after having done some inpainting, which often results in some unwanted color/luminance differences), I want to compare the values of both color models for a couple of points (at least 2), which necessitates to have at least 4 samplers. If I could have more than 2 by default in a persistent way, I would setup my system with at least 4, or even 6 samplers, and thus avoiding the need to recreate them all the time. Just one of my use cases for (multiple) samplers...
