Effect Presets
Presets provide a way to save a group of adjustments and apply them to other photos. Once you create and add a preset to the Effect Presets panel in the Global Edit module, it remains there until you delete it.

Preview and apply an effect preset
A set of default presets is listed in the Effect Presets panel. Click the PT General/Color/B&W Presets folder to display the default presets.
- Each preview image shows the effect of a preset applied to your original photo. There are "Small", "Medium", "Large" three preview modes.
- To apply a preset to the photo, double click the preview image.
- After applying a preset, you can use the "Amount" slider at the bottom right to control the effect strength.

Presets you create are based on the current adjustments.
