Can you save QuickFX effects

[AndyV]

EDIT: NEVERMIND! I found how to do it with Styles. (And I don't know how to delete this post.)

 

 

I'm making short animation sequence out of a series of TIF files (that I will transfer into video editor that can build a sequence from a series of numbered TIFS). They began as drawings that I scanned, and what I'm using Affinity for is applying some color effects.

I have been experimenting with one TIF and once I have applied everything, that's where I'm stuck on how to apply it in the exact same way with the other files. The Layer Adjustments are easy enough to copy and paste. But I don't see any way to apply any Quick FX effects into other files.

Other writing all the settings down, and then resetting all the effects to each file - which would be very cumbersome - is there any way to save the settings or export them? I don't see any way to do that nor anything about it in the manual.

Is the only way to do this is to import each file INTO the file that I've applied the QuickFX effects on and then export that as an individual file?

Hi @AndyV,

One way you can achieve this is via the Styles Panel.

Once you have assigned your FX settings to your image, you can then save these settings to a style by right clicking the layer > 'Create Style' This will then save the style to the category currently opened within the Style panel. When you want to apply the effects to a completely different Image/document, you can then re-apply this from the same panel.

Alternatively, you can do this by copying the layer which has the FX applied > switch to your next image > Edit > Paste FX. The Paste FX command can also be bound to a keyboard shortcut if needed.

I found the Styles trick. But I like the Paste FX trick too. That will be very helpful.

Thank you!
