(Auto)Save Tools Settings

[afarkas]

Tools like Brushes, Clone, Heal etc tools resets for each new image processed...

Is there a way to make them preserve the last state/settings???

Its anoying to start over with reset default settings each time

The whole preset/start-behavior/options... is quite away from beeing perfect. But afaik they are working on it :-)

But: the normal behavior ist that a brush keeps it last brush and the eraser keeps its last brush and so on. Isn't it by you?

Hi Afarkas,

You could use Edit > Defaults > Synchronise to change the default settings of your tools however this will change the tools so they always have the values you have set.

Thanks

I'm reading through Affinity Photo Help, but can't find any detail on this subject.

So just to clarify:

                          using Edit > Defaults > Synchronise changes the default tool settings to whatever state they are in when you click Synchronise, and they will stay that way until Defaults > Synchronise (or Factory Reset) is clicked again, whenever that may be?

 

And what would happen if you choose Defaults > Save, or Defaults > Revert?

Yes, it keeps the size, opacity and so on, what does not keep is for example in clone tool the option Aligned Source or Not... Also the Crop tool does not keep the Original aspect ratio option and so on...

Thanks R C-R,

Because of the tools we were talking about ( Brushes, Clone, Heal etc ), I wouldn't have thought of looking in the Help section under "vector content"!

That link gives a clear explanation, but it would seem that the Edit > Defaults > Synchronise trick doesn't apply to the tools mentioned in this thread?

Correct. As the help topic says, it only applies to vector content for stroke and fill attributes, art text attributes, and frame text attributes.

Also thanks to Callum and RCR. 

Now my new files starts with a font i like and the my pen-strokes, shapes... are visible as default :-)

Is there more saved by this?
