Can't change resin parameters in Lychee

All, I have tried to change the number of initial layers, the times and the subsequent layer times in Lychee, but for some reason when I print it always seems to print with the default Lychee resin settings. The printer is a Photon Mono X.I'm pretty certain it is me not understanding how to set it correctly and select it so any help would be appreciatedThanksLes

Try chitubox

It will definitewly change the number of first layers for my proxima mono6.

Apparently some of these settings are hardwired into the printers firmware.

For instance: There are three movements per layer.
peel, secondary lift and then a quick bounce up and down.

I can't see any purpose for the third step, but no matter what settings I put in the slicer (tried 3 slicers) I cannot stop it doing the third up and down movement.

If I could eliminate it, it would cut the printing time almost in half, without having to change any other settings.
