Mr. K Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I make some changes in the level adjustment but I don't like the changes so how do I cancel the changes or revert to the last saved? I understand I can undo, but is there a way to do it in the levels adjustment window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 No. Just in case: you can undo with the window still open. Undo always returns to the setting before opening the window, regardless how many steps you have done in the window when choosing undo. As in the history panel only the 1st change gets an undo/history entry, while opening/closing the window are no steps for undo.

GarryP Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 All of the Adjustments are ‘live’, meaning that they are applied non-destructively to the layers(s) they are applied to. If you want to not have an Adjustment applied you can either press the “Reset” button (top-right of your screen-grab) which will remove the effects of the Adjustment, while leaving the Adjustment in existence (but not actually adjusting anything), or you can press the “Delete” button (to the left of the “Reset” button in your screen-grab) which will remove the Adjustment completely. Note, however, that there is no way to make the Adjustment settings go back to what they were the last time you changed them except by using Undo which could also undo any other changes to the document since you changed the settings. In other words, there is no ‘local undo’ within the Adjustments themselves. NotMyFault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pšenda Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I think that the standard "Cancel" button would be very useful in dialogues of this type. Alternatively, the standard "OK" button, which would "transfer" the settings to the document. thomaso 1 Quote Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.5.5.2636 (Retail) Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, Build 22631.4317.

GarryP Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I think “Cancel” in this case could be confusing – different users will have different ideas about what “Cancel” means. Would they think that it would ‘cancel’ the last changes they made (which the software can’t do), or will it reset the settings, or will it remove the adjustment altogether? I think the existing “Reset” and “Delete” buttons are named pretty well considering what they do. Also, “OK” is bad wording for UI buttons in general - it's such a vague word. The text in buttons should have meaning related to what happens when the button is pressed, e.g. “Print Document”, “Accept Changes”, “Continue to Next Step”, etc. Can you explain what you mean by ““transfer” the settings to the document”, keeping in mind that adjustments can (and often do) change many layers at the same time?

thomaso Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 At least on mac the Affinity adjustment windows additionally confuse with the red "close" button top left. Here this seems to work like an "Okay" or "Apply" button – though we also can simply ignore the window because it gets closed automatically by continuing with other tasks in the layout. It is furthermore confusing because in macOS this button can get pressed via the keyboard shortcut CMD-W, which unfortunately would always trigger in Affinity the document window and either cause a Save question or just close the document silently. Really weird behaviour, – and odd that even in a bug report it seems to be unclear for Serif whether it's an issue or "by design". 12 minutes ago, GarryP said: I think “Cancel” in this case could be confusing – different users will have different ideas about what “Cancel” means.

I think the existing “Reset” and “Delete” buttons are named pretty well considering what they do. Since, as you literally point at, "Reset" + "Delete" do exist, your doubts about the meaning of "Cancel" appear strange and redundant. Have you ever experienced in Affinity or any other software that "Cancel" has a different meaning than canceling the application of the current window content respectively your settings in it? I assume you never were afraid that "Cancel" in the window below would either • remove the style assignment from any text or • delete or • reset the style (even though this window does not offer "Delete" nor "Reset"): Pšenda 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. K Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 Reset brings the adjustment back to its original neutral setting, so that is not helpful when all I want is to revert to the last saved state of the adjustment. Command Z (Undo) does work inside the dialog box, and for the moment that is the solution. Cancel is a fine word in my opinion. Cancel is consistent with other Mac dialogue boxes. Revert would be fine too. I do think it would be helpful to have the addition of a "Cancel" type button in these dialog boxes. thomaso and Pšenda 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I don't know which OS you use by default, but for Windows there can be no doubt about the meaning of the Cancel button (as in the New Document dialog, Export Dialog, Document Setup,...). And the "OK" button (or Apply as used in Affinity in some situations) is also quite clear (as in Document Setup). In my opinion, "Delete" is completely confusing for some users. Is it about deleting the currently displayed dialog, so is it going out? Is it about deleting the adjustment settings you just made and keeping the previous one? Is it deleting the adjustment settings as such? Or is it a matter of deleting the entire document in progress? Or maybe deleting all the files on your PC? And "Reset" - it's like resetting a PC?!!!

What if I don't have all the documents saved!!! Well, there are some valid reasons why there is a delete button, and no cancel button: A common trick is to add an adjustment layer, and just set the blend mode to multiply. This will have an effect, even in case all sliders are on zero. Delete will delete the adjustment layer - no need to locate it in layer stack. As you can keep the UI open while selecting totally different layers, this is quite useful. I mostly use delete in case I added the wrong adjustment via keyboard shortcut, but switched to mouse to adjust sliders. A cancel button would be totally unclear: Delete the adjustment layer? We have delete for that purpose Keep the layer, but reset the settings? We have reset for that purpose revert to last settings? We have undo for that purpose. Do something else? I agree that the UI is extremely confusing for new users, even more for “PS migrants”. Never the less, the UI shows at least some consistency across live layers, and after you get used to it, you can live with it.

This makes Undo in the settings interface rather strange as a replacement for Cancel in my eyes, especially since it is unclear what will become undone: the very last setting – or all last settings since the window was opened? A "Cancel" button, on the other hand, would not raise this ambiguity but rather work like in other windows: it cancels all user actions done in this window since the window was opened. 47 minutes ago, NotMyFault said: Delete will delete the adjustment layer - no need to locate it in layer stack.

There is no "OK" or "Apply" button needed for adjustments since they are implemented as separate layers that are created as soon as the adjustment window opens. And since their windows can be reopened at any time after creation by double-clicking on the adjustment layer, a "Cancel" button would at that time do nothing more than close the window without affecting any adjustment that might already have been done on that layer. IOW, it would not do what the provided "Delete" button does, which as the name suggests deletes the adjustment layer from the Layer stack. That same logic applies to the buttons of the Live Filter layers. Both are non-destructive because they are implemented as separate layers, not as destructive changes to an existing layer.

"Delete" an adjustment is very different from "Cancel" a change of a current setting. – Note the OP's topic concern: 16 hours ago, Mr. K said: I make some changes in the level adjustment but I don't like the changes … ... which means "Delete" is not the desired option at all. Instead, a "Cancel" button could be used to close the window without applying a recent change. It seems odd that the UI requires the separate "Undo" command for this separate, extra options window to prevent a possibly unwanted trial change from getting / remaining applied. Imagine a change in the Text Style Editor window would be forced to get applied and you would need to choose "Undo" instead of using its existing "Cancel" button if you don't want the change to get applied? Or imagine you would have to run a Print or Export process once you opened / did any setting in their options window because the UI would not offer their "Cancel" buttons to prevent print or export and thus would require to "Undo" the task (in that cases for instance by quit printing from the system level or delete an exported file). Or, can one tell why the Text Wrap options window has two Close buttons?

Pšenda Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 @thomaso, look at dialog setting for Filter. That's exactly how Adjustments, Live filters and fx should work in my opinion, ie the Apply and Cancel button. This includes buttons for displaying the status before / after adjustment/live filter/fx - this would be very useful. Today, the effect of a "new" setup cannot be checked at all - there is no way to see the status before it is made.
