AP: Grid and Axis manager defaults


Recommended Posts

Greetings all,

New user here, I purchased Affinity Photo a month ago and have been thoroughly enjoying this software.  It fits in beautifully with my old workflow when I was using Lightroom and Photoshop.

That said, there's one thing I find a little frustrating.  In the Develop Persona I toggle the grid overlay on/off quite often as I make lens corrections and I never know what to expect when the grid appears.  Most of the time I have to go to the Grid and Axis manager to manually set the grid for the image I'm working on.

My images are all DNG format, is there a way to set the default grid spacing?

Thanks in advance
John

Do not use Auto Correction?

At the moment I don't think there is a way to set the grid to a default setting, certainly not in 1.6.x but in 1.7 beta there is now a grid preset option

Firstdefence that's good to know about 1.7 I'll be looking forward to it.

You can try it out for yourself now, John.

Affinity Photo on Mac - Customer Beta Build 1.0.7.112

Affinity Photo on Windows - Customer Beta Build 1.7.0.258

Please be aware that you may be unable to open version 1.7 files in version 1.6, so you should always work on copies of your files.
