In other words it discards any work you do in the raw develop module when you click develop and convert the raw file. Then when the devs decide to ship Affinity with some presets already packaged in for convenience they can custom tailor whatever user experience they desire to cater to different types of users.First: Affinity photo is an excellent raster editor and a terrific deal at current prices - good software.īUT the raw develop module is poor to the point where I would rate it not usable.ġ.

painting tools only, photo retouching only, etc.). Extra bonus points if it could even save what your toolbar looks like by having it specialised towards very specific types of work (i.e. Sure, but one thing that should also be considered is that unless the devs want to create another presets manager just to handle the toolbar and such, it would be more practical if down the line that the current Studio Presets is able to handle things like the main program window location and the toolbar location. It certainly would be useful if the positioning of all the UI elements could be saved, but as the function is named Studio Presets, it's not surprising (and in my opinion not a bug) that it only handles the Studio panels. Note that they are activated by View > Show Tools, not View > Studio. This way your entire canvas moves to the screen you want to work with with zero needs to move anything in place. Might be wishful thinking, but I just wanted to throw the idea out there at least. I don't really expect the toolbar contents to necessarily change if it is considered a "sticky setting" that was previously mentioned in this discussion, but I at least would appreciate if it was possible to take the toolbar position into account when finalising the design of Studio Presets.Īs a sidenote, would it be possible to add an option to have Studio Presets affect the entire Affinity window as well? For instance, going back to my previous example of my Cintiq and main screen when dual screening, it would be nice if you could add an option to take into account your entire window position for certain presets while ignoring it for others. So far I have managed to get all the regular panels to move, but I still have to manually move the normal toolbar despite it having a lot of the same panel like qualities like being able to get docked and undocked. I was trying to create two identical presets that would work on two separate screens my main screen and my Cintiq screen. Studio Presets do not actually affect the placement of the toolbar with all the tool icons when it is undocked from its regular place on the left side of the Affinity window.
