Presets

A preset is a saved set of adjustments you can drop onto any photo. They are useful for two different things: finding a look when you do not have one in mind, and applying a look you have already settled on to a batch of photos consistently.

Browsing

Presets are grouped into tabs, and the recommended ones can be filtered by mood:

• Subtle and Strong — by how far they push the image.
• Warm, Cool, Bright and Dark — by the direction they take colour and tone.
• B&W — monochrome conversions.
• Cinematic and HDR — by the style they are going for.

Alongside those sit adaptive and seasonal sets, a premium collection, and Yours — the presets you have saved yourself.

Making your own

Once a photo looks the way you want, save the edit as a preset and it becomes available to every other photo. This is the real value: a look you developed over twenty minutes on one frame becomes a single tap on the next fifty.

A preset is a starting point, not a finish. The same look lands differently on a bright beach and an overcast street, so expect to adjust exposure and white balance after applying one.

What presets do not carry

Presets store adjustment settings. They do not carry your crop, your retouching, or the specific masks you drew, because those are tied to the geometry and content of one particular photograph and would not mean anything on another.
