Thomas S Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hello, there should be several choices in the adjustment panel, e.g. for brightness the options brighter, darker, etc. With me there is only "standard" in all adjustment possibilities and nothing else. How can this be fixed? Photo Windows version 1.7.2.471 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 You can add your own presets to almost all of the Adjustment panel items. So for example, add a Brightness/Contrast adjustment to some layer, set the sliders & other settings to whatever you want, click the "Add Preset" button, & give it whatever name you want.

But I've never done that, and all my Adjustment panel have several provided automatically by Photo. I think that's what Thomas is questioning. E.g., my Brightness/Contrast adjustment automatically has these available: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 If you accidentally delete any presets you can get them back by holding the CTRL key down when starting APhoto and in the dialogue box that appears just select the Reset Adjustments option. The OP can try that first. Hilltop 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Thank you for that tip. Didn't know about it and couldn't find it in the Help file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas S Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Thank you all for your help. The presets had disappeared in all adjustment options except HSL. I don't know what made them disappear. I don't think I deleted them. CTRL at startup helped restore them. Now I can continue to follow the explanations in the Affinity Workbook. Maybe I will create my own later to speed up my workflow. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
