Develop Persona - Apply Preset when opening RAW files as single file and batch mode

[aknoefel]

I take several 100 pictures in one photo shoot, sometimes in very challenging lighting conditions.

I can define a preset and save it, but for every subsequent file I need to select the preset before developing the file.

The same functionality is missing when I process a batch job. I can apply macros, but not presets to get a head start on a ton of images.

What will sometimes work is: 

1. On your first image, just press Develop. Then start recording a macro and make all your changes in the Photo Persona. 

2. Then create a batch job, load your other images, and run that macro. 

But other than that you're right. Affinity Photo is not designed for your workflow.

I don't think it is HIS workflow, it's every photographers workflow, if you have 100 pictures you don't want to develop them 1 by 1, and recording a macro after developing it you lose information, the reason you shoot raw in the first place

Please fix it allow to set presets for batch developing raw, this is very basic and It's been several years I bought this app and still with this issue
