WBMiller Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Is there any way to set the default start up screen to use inches for the measurements and have one of the "info" sampler panels set to LAB? I can't find anywhere in the Settings tabs where I can do that. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 If by "default start up screen" you mean the File > New Document dialog, while you cannot set it up always to use inches you can either choose from among any of the existing preset document options that use inches (like Letter, Legal, Photo "R" sizes, & so on) or create your own Document templates of various sizes that default to using inches. As for the Info panel, I do not think there is any way to set a LAB default.

WBMiller Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Thank you both. I knew about this option and was more concerned with when I open a photo the screen is set up the way I wanted. I guess I'll have to change it each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pšenda Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) If it is not about "New File", as the title of your post says, but about Opening, then the option to set default units has been requested many times. https://www.google.com/search?q=open+file+units+site:forum.affinity.serif.com Alternatively, you can make your own Template/Preset, and insert the photo using Place.
