Custom B&W preset will not load

[billtils]

The title of this YouTube video is misleading but the content was interesting and I thought I'd give their settings a run for a bit to see how it went as a default starting point.   However when I loaded the suggested colour settings and clicked on "Add preset" it did not save to B&W, either from Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Black and White or by selecting B&W from the studio options.

 

I'm on V2.2.1.1 on an iMac and MacBook Air running Ventura 13.4.1

Adjustment presets are only available from the Adjustment studio panel which is enabled under the top-level Window menu

Is that what you are looking for?

Thanks Carl - that worked.

I have that preset loaded, too. Glad you got it sorted. Her site has dozens and dozens of videos on Affinity. Check it out.

Alternatively to an adjustment preset you can add an adjustment layer to the Asset Panel and use it from there.

If you first activate the "Insert inside" button it gets nested inside a selected layer.

Thanks Thomaso, I have implemented Carl's suggestion and everything is working fine now.
