Detail Preset

[ebbgolf1]

I’m still new to Affinity with less than a year of use.  However, in using the Detail  tab I create a preset which never seems to retain its properties.  Each new image I need to return to the Details tab and reset properties.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

First question, as you're such a new forum user: Are you using the 2.1 beta? If not, this discussion should be moved elsewhere and the Moderators can take care of that. But if you're not using the 2.1 beta, they'll also need to know what release of Photo you are using.

Next: If you created a preset in the Develop Persona, you may be experiencing a known issue, where (with a new image) the preset shows as applied, but it isn't. I think you need to click in the preset field and select it again to get it applied.

I am using 2.1 Beta.  

Your remedy is exactly what I’ve been doing to apply it.  Nevertheless, additional issues exist. 

I cannot use the preset at all when I import multiple images (which is 95% of the time).  

In order to effectively use the preset I can only import one image at a time and process each image.

Additionally,  I’m having occasion where I complete a process and Develop Persona “develops” and as it begins developing the image looks exactly the way I want.   However,  when develop is complete the image reverts back to original form.  In some cases it partially “develops“  but isn’t complete.  Reworking the process usually makes it worse at this point.

This process is done prior to publishing images and tweeking exposure if necessary and sharpening.

I think that's a different known problem: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&tags= AFP-5851

Can you still replicate this in the latest Beta 2.1.0.1730?

Could you provide a screen recording of this in action so I can try to replicate it?

I just received the install upgrade to ver. 2.1.0.1730 this morning.  I have yet to try this but I will be at some point today.
