CMYK Procedural textures in Affinity Photo

If you are a keen user of the superlative Affinity Photo and you use it in CMYK colour mode then you will notice most filters will work fine and you should be able to achieve great results with blurs, sharpness, equations and so on, however, if you use the powerful filter, procedure texture then you will find that there are no presets available, which is odd as the application comes with 20+ presets for that tool but these are only for use with RGB colour mode. The result is the same with grayscale documents as well in Affinity Photo. Also if you use the filters in CMYK then the colour channels are no longer red, green and blue as in the presets but cyan etc. A quick solution to this can be found by creating a document in RGB and then using the presets there, select the equation used in the preset and then return to the CMYK document and paste it into the equation. The cyan, etc channels etc will still be able to use it unless there are R G B etc in the equation. If you have already split the channels in the equations, it does get a little more tricky as you now have black as a separate channel to deal with in Affinity Photo
