Develop Persona / White Balance preset is not applied to the RAW photo

[Mariusz_F]

macOS Ventura v.13.2
Hardware acceleration ON

Problem description:

Develop Persona/Basic/White Balance settings do not apply to the image once the presets are loaded.
The presets take effect, but when you click on one of the White Balance settings bars with the mouse.

Problem do not appear in Affinity Photo V1

I'm not sure, but perhaps you're referring to this known problem (which did also occur in V1, apparently): https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&tags=AFP-1164

Hi Walt,

No, it's not related to this issue you mentioned. When opening a new RAW file, I also see the last preset name as default, and I find it a plus. To activate it, I always have to select it again to apply it to the image but its ok for me.
My problem is that after applying one of the recorded presets from the Basic Values section, all parameters apply to the image, except White Banance settings. The values shown in the White Balance section are correct but do not affect the image. To do this, I have to additionally click on one of the bars in the White Balance section... strange but this is how it is. This problem does not exist on my AP v1.

I can confirm, I have the same issue. The preset applies everything except for the white balance value. I have to click into the value box and hit enter to apply it. *Ventura 13.4, Photo 2.1.0

Looks like this issue still exists on Affinity Photo v2.3.1. Any update on whether this is on the development team's radar?
