NotMyFault Posted June 18, 2023 Posted June 18, 2023 Hi, the procedural text filter - preset manager has the option to filter. How can you add a preset that it is shown in the "alpha"selection ? It shows no results by default, and i could not find out how to add a preset into this category. Regards, NMF This is a repost. Did not received any answer in the last 2 years: Goodby Forum, thanks for good discussion and so much support from great peers and Affinity staff. It was a great pleasure to be part of this fantastic community. After 03.10.2025 find me on https://creofora.com

I did not test extensively, but it seems that like in V1 in V2 the only category I can add presets to is RGB, so not only no Alpha, no LAB, etc. either. Can you add any presets to CMYK, Greyscale, etc.?

Can you add any presets to CMYK, Greyscale, etc.? I can add Presets to RGB, CMYK, Grayscale, or LAB Filters, depending on the color format of the document I'm working in. Only tested in V2, but I presume it works the same way in V1. The question was about the Filter named Alpha, and I cannot seem to add anything that turns up when using that Filter in the PT Manage Presets dialog.

Maybe the lack of Alpha category presets has something to do with there being no "Alpha" document color format? IOW, maybe there should be no Alpha filter category to begin with?

NotMyFault Posted June 18, 2023 Author Posted June 18, 2023 That is the short version of the story. The long version is what interests m, and only developers can say. For what purpose has the alpha section been implemented? I would like to have a filter criteria showing only presets which have a formula for alpha channel present.

I don't think there is anything like that, not for any of the channels, just the filters based on the color document format, so if they did implement what you want, they would probably do filters for all the channels, R, G, B, C, M, Y, K, & so on. Might be useful, might not....
