Is there any way to keep settings from the developing persona?

[Venyer 1]

I am getting used to Affinity Photo and I don't know how to keep the settings of the developing persona. When I edit a photo and go back to the developing persona all the settings are reseted to 0. Is there a way to keep the settings editable?

Hi Venyer,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
No, currently the conversion is destructive. There's plans to implement a non-destructive development layer in the current 1.x cycle as a free update (see roadmap here).

Thanks both.

I did not know that. I am glad to hear that it will be added in the 1.x version. I thought it was already there.

You could always save a Preset

That will allow you to save the settings, or different variations of them to reuse on a different picture

Make your adjustments then click on the burger menu to Add one,

Thank you toltec.

Thats good to know but I expect AP to keep settings and overlays in the develop persona so we can edit them whenever necessary.

How are things going about keeping settings in the developing persona? That would be a really useful feature.

Hi Venyer,
No news/improvements here yet, sorry - I don't know much about it currently - but as stated we do plan to implement a non-destructive approach.
