kirkmc Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Is there any way to tell Affinity Photo that I want all photos I open to have certain layers, such as Brightness/Contrast, Black and White, Shadows/Highlights, etc.? It would save time having to add them, and for the ones I don't want to use, I would just uncheck them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smadell Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Probably not as an automatic function of simply opening an image. However, it would be quite straightforward to program a macro that would add all of those adjustment layers with a single click. You wouldn't have to set any adjustments in them - simply add them and let them stay at their default values until you change them. You could even turn them off (one by one, just after you enter each one) so that you can turn them on instead of off, as needed.

kirkmc Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Ah, thanks for that. I hadn't thought of using a macro. That does the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 You can also save your defaults in the Adjustment Presets' defaults as well, so you can add them post-loading but maintinging your default adjustment levels...
