Save Adjustment Layers as Assests?

[Weird-Grafx]

Hi,

I regularly use a group of preset adjustment layers on my images

My workflow at the moment is, that I open an Affinity Photo file that has this group and copy the group to the new picture.

Is there an easier way? I could imagine having the "Adjustment Group" available as an Asset but found no way to do that.

Regards

Adding as an Asset should work. Add your desired adjustments or live filter layers, one by one, with or without any adjustments. Highlight all those layers and Group them (Cmd-G). Double click on the word "Group" to rename it something meaningfu, which will be the name when saved as an Asset (e..g., My Standard Adjustments). Highlight the Group. Then in the Assets Panel, select the Asset Category where you want to save it, click the hamburger menu for that category, and Add from Selection. That will add the Group, along with Group Name you created, to the selected Assets Category. To use it, drag and drop the Asset onto your open document.

As an alternative, you can record a Macro that adds all your adjustment layers, then add that to your Library. 

EDIT: Oops....I can Save the Asset, and drag it into a document, but for whatever reason, making adjustments to the layers after dragging and dropping them into the document, doesn't work. I'd use the Macro route, which ought to work fine.

Thanks a lot for that quick reply.

This way I was able to create the asset, but now I think we found a bug.

The asset is created as expected, but when I drag and drop it onto the picture the following happens:

1. The group and all the adjustment layers get created in the layers panel

2. If I check the layers the kept their setting as they should

BUT: the layer have no effect on the picture. I tried disabling/enabling. Cut the group and paste it again. No effect.

I will try the the Macro way.

Yup, I found the same thing with the Asset approach. Drags into the document fine, but adjusting them has no effect.

Yes, this is probably AF-4030.
