adjustments presets need to be removed.

[Mitch55]

After using Affinity for 3 mths everything was great so i bought it , then all my layers adjustments truned into Presets.

i really need to go back to the old way it was before. I searched online for "toggle adjustment preset " and only found 2020 info that gave me no answers. 

Help? dont want to go back to Photoshop after 10 years.

please include screenshots if possible. hope u understand my question.

i think i see what they have done... yes, if you want to use the preset thats fine, but included on the click/selection you have the sliders come up to add/remove adjustments. 

just gets getting used to. oye.

Hi @Mitch55 and welcome to the forums.

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is to go to Revert or Factory Reset.
Can be found via Menu -> Edit -> Defaults

[Mitch55]

ok willl try that...

I am not sure if I understand your term "preset" correctly but if you mean those in the Adjustment Panel which can store additional custom settings then a complete factory reset should not be required. It may be sufficient to close the app and delete the file "adjustment.propcol" from the Affinity user folder inside the Affinity system folder. The file will get restored with default settings if you launch Affinity the next time. The file path depends on your operating system version, the Affinity version and the used store for purchasing Affinity. However, a search for the file name might lead you there.

yes , those in the Adjustment panel... they are preset settings to make changes ( like a suggestion) to your images.

but i think i may have been in the wong mode per se ( not in Persona) , should have been in the Develop Persona. the light bulb one ( icon)

just bought the program today and i bit lost , havent used it in trial mode in a while..

primary reason for the purchase is Astrophotography and planetary proccessing.

thanks.

I'm not sure what you want to remove in that panel but if you right-click on individual adjustments (any except the builtin "(Default)" one) you should get a popup menu with options to delete or rename the adjustment. This has to be done one adjustment at a time -- you can't select several & delete them in one step.

just wanted to disable them , not delete them. but i made a judgment error , using the wrong persona.

im newbie...

disable presets, not delete them? – I really would like to see a screenshot of the presets you are talking about.

With "adjustments.propcol" I meant those custom presets in the Adjustment Panel. These can't be disabled but deleted only.

let me get a screen shot. brb.

I do not know what you mean by "disable them." If you click on one, you should get a popup showing that preset. If you do not want to use it, just click the "Delete" button there & it will not be applied to whatever layer you had selected. You can also right-click on the adjuestment layer in the layers panel & delete it there.

Ok , thanks, im good now. just needed some directions.

Your screenshot shows the 3 default presets only. – But you wrote…

… which sounds to me that all your custom adjustment settings became presets?

Or do you want to hide (not display) any preset in general? – If yes, it's not possible, unfortunately. That's why I avoid the Adjustment Panel (unless I want a preset) and use the Layers Panel button instead which opens the editor dialog directly when an adjustment gets selected form the menu.

Ah ok make sense, i got it now. thank you.
