Seth Hendrick Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 I tried to save levels, curves, and HSL adjustment layers to one asset. This makes it easier to add them all at once (I use them for color matching). When I add the asset in, it adds all three adjustments, but they do not work. It shows that they are there as adjustment layers, but they do not affect the actual image. Is this a bug? If so, is there another way I can do this? Please help. Thanks Update: It works, but the effect appears glitchy (as shown below). Quote

If you export the original image, then export the adjusted image (before and after). You can load a new image and add a Lut adjustment. In the lut context menu tap Infer. Navigate to the original image (from earlier adjustment) and tap on it, now navigate to the adjusted version of the image and tap on that. photo creates a lut adjustment to create the effect that reflects your initial/adjusted source outcomes. If you save that lut you can apply it to images to get the grouped adjustment effect. Apply the lut to your original source and compare that to the adjusted source. You can see in the attached example how the inferred lut gives the same effect as the 3 grouped adjustments. I can save the lut and apply it to any image to get the same adjustment effect. The second example shows the saved lut applied to the eyes in a second image. IMG_8029.MP4 IMG_8031.MP4 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

I tried that initially Walt, but it doesn’t replicate the three adjustments. I'm assuming that Inferring looks at the 'differences' between the source unadjusted and the adjusted image to work out what has changed. Export lut just gives the overall effect on the image (not the difference). I may be wrong, though it seems to work doing it this way.

Export LUT is documented as creating a LUT that contains all the Adjustments that have been applied. And it has worked for me on the desktop, though I haven't tried it on iPad.

Doesn’t appear to work. Tried again here. You can see original adjustments applied, then Exported lut is applied (no noticeable effect), then inferred lut applied (same effect as adjustments). Maybe a bug in Export lut? Edit: Export lut works if other LUTs have been applied ie I can enable the source image and the inferred lut, and use Export lut to create a new lut. This lut acts the same as the inferred lut. My conclusion is that you can replicate multiple adjustments using the Inferred lut but not using Export lut. You can save that inferred lut and apply it to other images to replicate previous adjustments. That should work for the OP. 🙂 IMG_8034.MP4 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Back to testing🤔. EDIT further testing supports that Export lut command is not working. Posted as a bug to see what mods say🙂 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Seth Hendrick Posted November 17, 2021 Author Posted November 17, 2021 I don’t know if you understand what I was asking. I have the group of 3 adjustments that I use for color matching images. I would like a method to “click a button” so that they all are together and I don’t have to scroll through adjustments and add each one. I still want the option to adjust each adjustment, but I would just liked them grouped together. Quote

Different kettle of fish but has highlighted a problem so not a total loss😁. If you mean that you want to have your three adjustments layers available via a single menu, then no that is not currently available. Saving adjustment layers to a Group layer and adding to Assets doesn’t work and is not practical as you can’t see them in the assets studio.

On the desktop, one can make them somewhat visible by configuring the Assets to "Show as List" but I don't see that option on the iPad. Edit: On the other hand, as mentioned in the other (duplicate) topic, you can Group the adjustments and put them in the Assets if you have a non-adjustment layer in the group, too. So, you could put some layer that would show up in the Assets panel in the Group, and make that Group into an Asset. Then when you drag it into the image you can delete the other layer and arrange the adjustments where they're supposed to be.

Seth Hendrick Posted November 17, 2021 Author Posted November 17, 2021 Thank you. Adding an image along with my adjustments to a group causes them to appear and not glitch in the asset. walt.farrell 1 Quote
