Image Presets  

 

[Image Presets are used to automatically apply a specific group of settings to an image based on settings you have already applied to an image. Once you have applied settings to an image using the Image Tools, create a Preset based on that image.

 

Creating a Preset

Once you have applied the desired settings to your image, select the image, and create the Preset by doing one of the following methods:

  • Click [Add] button in [Image Preset] area (Figure 1).In the "New Preset" dialog (Figure 2) the settings you have applied to your image will appear. You can remove any settings in this dialog, but cannot add new ones. Enter a [Preset Name] and [Description], and click [OK].
  • Right click in the [Preset list] area (Figure 1) and select [New Preset]. This opens the New Preset dialog (Figure 2). The settings you have applied to your selected image will appear. You can remove any settings in this dialog, but cannot add new ones. Enter a [Preset Name] and [Description] (Figure 3), and click [OK].

 

Applying a Preset

Select an image in your job. Select a preset from the preset area, and click [Apply] button to apply the Preset to the image you selected.

  • To Export Presets:

    Right click on a Preset area and select [Export...] then browse to where you want to save the Preset.

    NOTE: You can right click to export an individual preset, or right click on a folder to export all the presets in that folder, or export the Preset folder at the top to export all Presets.

     

  • To Import Presets:

    Right click in the Preset area and select [Import...] then browse to where you have saved a Preset.

    NOTE: You can also import Presets into a specific folder by right clicking on a folder and selecting [Import...].
